So with such accounts, no suspicious things to trigger anything in account security and it does not relate to account recovery.
It seems you try to make account wake-up and account recovery as the same, while these activities are complete different.
To be honest , you dont have no Idea what was going on the last years with all that or some old Accounts.
If you want to look about it take your time and look here :
Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action Check the Accounts what was used for it.
Accounts that have suspicious activities can be locked even they don't use the secret questions.
Old Accounts that have suspicious activities will be only locked or banned if you report them and then maybe it would be to late.
So i guess you have no clue whats really going on with Accounts and what some are posting.
