RE: News of fake Steem Engine + compromised accounts. Be careful people! + Question about Changing Recovery Accounts

Thanks!

One more question. Does or should the "receiving" account recovery (the account being set as account recovery) have a say about it?

For example, I created a test account using my claimed tickets to see if I would be set as the recovery account. If I want to set the recovery account for that account from 'gadrian' to 'steem', should 'steem' have any say in this?

Steemit Inc. collects some information about users they sign up to Steem. The reason provided for the data collection is that it will be used in case of an account recovery, to proof it's you.

But what does Steemit Inc. know about the account I would set 'steem' as an account recovery for, if I created it (and that is a clear case, but I could have created an account for someone I didn't know). How would their mechanism of verifying the ownership work then?
