I did not have an account. Someone else used my email address to create an account.
ah, i suppose that's possible, but if you're sure that's the case, there was no threat to any other account you hold
What I don't have is any explanation from Gawker why they would allow someone to create an account using my email address and not verify the registrant's right to use my email address.
i don't recall all the sites Gawker has, but some of them have been around for several years, possibly predating the prevalence of account verification via email; afaik there is no law that states a website must verify email addresses used to create accounts; some sites still allow posting comments with an email address that is never verified
