For anyone working at Blind - PGP encryption on emails as an option please.

Not sure that would have solved the problem here as the company can just set up a catch-all redirect on emails from Blind’s domain(s). Blind doesn’t send out emails without someone signing up for them so it’s pretty obvious what the content would be even if it were encrypted.

Anyone can sign up as anyone. It's the email validation step that makes it 'proof' that you own the account. Just the first step in the email validation doesn't mean anything.
