cronjob to regularly check if the domain is expired/up for sale? The service "has this domain changed owners in a way it's relevant for logins" could even be turned into a SAAS startup... later to be extended to individual accounts (someone deletes e-mail acct, cancels phone plan, etc. then a new person creates a new one with just that name) One could strike contracts with all the e-mail providers and phone networks to tell via API when this happens and then send the info to services that use those accounts.
