Damnnn. What I don't understand is why the old accounts still exist, they should've changed the accounts to use the new email address. Also, they should've thought to buy up the old domain and redirect it to the new domain so nobody can use that for malicious purposes.
I don't believe that would be an issue if you would go into outlook for example and change your email from john@Police.de to john@Polizei.de. If this was done then the forgot your password wouldn't function because that email address now doesn't have an account associated with it.
I think the issue was the account never being deleted or transferred. Which my question was why weren't they deleted or transferred? If they were too lazy to do that then at the very least, hold onto the old domain so they couldn't be used.
