An email address token is a type of token that triggers an alert when a specific email address is used. This is typically used to detect unauthorized use or distribution of the email address.
This token is applicable in any environment where email addresses can be sent or received, such as email clients, servers, or web forms.
The token gets triggered when an email is sent to the specific email address associated with the token. The email server logs the event and sends a callback to the defined URL, indicating that the token has been triggered.
Keep the indicators.md
file handy, as it contains the indicators of how the token is a canary token.

- Observe the domain, the email is created off -
[email protected]
