Booking.com also has some really bad checking for email adresses, which is why I often find reservations in my account for people who enter my email adress instead of theirs in the booking email field (I have a booking.com account with that email, they don't, but the booking still gets tacked to my account - it cost me nothing, but I could change their reservation if I wanted to)

Same with Vanguard and Fidelity. I could steal someone's funds if I really wanted to.

Now that I think about it, Quicken and TurboTax too. People signed up for all kinds of important things using my email.

Same with airbnb, you can book and have the host confirm booking without any checks your email address is correct.
