Default Send info about email address change to old address

Hi,

I am searching for a mod that sends an email to the old emailaddress if someone is entereing a new address in his UserCP. If possible in the email there should be an activation link.
Only if pressed the email change should be valid and entered in the database.
I see this as security feature cause we see an increase of stolen accounts on our board at the moment.

Kind regards
jluerken

Default

if you send a activation link to a "old" account, then the new owner of the mail
suddenly gets acces to another account..

ive had several emails, ive lost rigths to acces, due to domain shut down,
or webhotel moved/closed, so i ofcourse enter my favorite sites
login and then change my email, now if my email now is sendt to the email
i dont have acces to, then i lost my account.

----------------

If think, if youre experienceing "stolen" accounts, people should
1) update their passwords to something more random and harder to crack
2) double check trust on any admin connected to the site, who can edit user acc's

im just saying if stolen accounts is the issue, then you have another problem, well
actually the users with poor passwords have.
