-When a package is published the email address associated with the account, **at the time the package was published**, is included in the public metadata. Attackers are able to utilize this public data to identify accounts that might be susceptible to account takeover. It is important to note that the** email addresses stored in public metadata of packages are not updated when a maintainer updates their email address**. As such crawling public metadata to identify accounts susceptible to expired domain takeover will result in false positives, accounts that appear to be vulnerable but are not.
