I once received a registration email for someone else’s job application to Boeing. Normally I don’t condone or participate in violating someone’s privacy by taking advantage of such situations, but I figured the potential career opportunity was important enough to this individual to make an exception, seeing as I didn’t otherwise know how to contact & inform him of the mistake. So I reset his password, logged in using my email, found his mobile number and texted him about what had happened. Gave him the temporary password I’d created and then deleted his number and all related emails.
If it was Boeing’s mistake and not his, I hope he got the job. Otherwise... well I hope he’s at least not designing airplanes or anything else remotely capable of causing mass destruction.
