What's with the verify endpoint. If a hacker changed the address, couldn't they change the verify endpoint too?

Token sales should always use a .eth name as the wrapper for their deposit address. That's what FunFair did with their token sale [1]. It makes it a lot harder for a hacker or scammer to trick users into sending to the wrong address, since a user-specified identifier can be made far more mnemonic than an Ethereum account address.
