#3You have likely broken the law by accessing that Amazon account which was not yours, and now you blog about it. It might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer.

I accessed the person(s) amazon account to find contact information. They are now fully aware that I accessed the account as I left a voicemail. I offered full access to the GMAIL account and gave the password on the Amazon account so it could be shut it down and alert amazon who could also further do a full audit of what I accessed.
There does not seem to be any alarming distress in the situation. It has been over 2 months since the incident, I made sure that the person(s) involved was fully aware and of the blog post. No issue was raised about me writing it up and posting it. I also waited for a period of time to hear back from the Google Security Team. I believe I have taken the correct response here.

#8It sounds like Google have changed their policies on this. Just a few months ago I was caught on the other side of this issue. Basically I bought a domain and wasn't able to get Google Apps set up because someone else had used it in the past.

#9Any thoughts on how Google could prevent this? Seems important they provide a way to reclaim domains.

#10Google should remind you that your domain is expiring and offer to switch to a regular account or clear your data.
