![]() Why the hell can't ICQ integrate a "red flag" into their program? For example, if your account is hacked, said ahcker will change the email address to prevent you from getting the account back. Why can't icq implement a "hack stop" so that when you create the account, you can select whether or not any change of email address would be a hacked account?
Example: say my email is [email protected] and I set my account up to allow ONLY that email address. When hackerboy comes along and tries to change the email address, icq will prevent it and lockdown the account until I come along and re-activate it. Your email address would have to be private, and should you need to reactivate your account, you'd have to correctly answer security questions which are set to be completely random so that a pattern isn't easily found. I'm sure there are all kinds of things wrong with this idea, but it's a better one than ICQ currently has. |

They merely don't care.
They know that people using their service will just get a new ICQ number. |

or what about just sending a notification to the old email, so if it was jacked you can just stop it from changing.
something along the lines of "This notification is to let you know your (ICQ UIN) email address has been changed. If the change was not authorized please respond to this email within 72 hours." blah blah... you get the idea |

What about all the ICQ numbers that dont even have any email address attached to them? There is no way to allow people to get their lost passwords and also prevent the account from being stolen.

Your account is already stolen, password changed, etc. What will knowing 72 hours later help? It will just cause confusion |

...you have 72 hours to respond to the email.. if you respond, the email address change is canclled. therefore you can turn around and recover your pass |
