This isn't anything new, or exclusive to Google, or exclusive to OAuth.

My workmate hadn't used Facebook for many years and it was associated to an email on a custom domain. Said domain expired and somehow hackers/script kiddies/bots must have an email list, run a whois, buy the domain if expired, setup email, and do password resets across social media and common websites. His Facebook was stolen.
