I think this service is already pretty good, but when defending against LLM based attacks, they're a godsend. Current tools don't appear to be too discerning.

They make credit cards. Obviously they're not real cards but what sort of financial wizardry is required to make that possible? And given it's vibecoded that means Claude knows how to make fake credit cards now?

> given it's vibecoded

Why is this a given? This service has been around for longer than LLMs have been a thing.

this is absolutely not a given, i've been using canarytokens for years!

blog posts date back to at least 2015: https://leonjza.github.io/blog/2015/09/10/canarytokens---the...

There are many, many services for programmatically issuing credit cards that you can control from code. For example: https://stripe.com/issuing

Any idea on how to roll-your-own canary token for an unsupported token provider like Cloudflare/Stripe/OpenAI? Do you just make a real Cloudflare/Stripe/OpenAI account, create an API key, and vibecode an alerting system?

I'm kinda surprised that they haven't expanded beyond their existing token providers.

That's the issue. If the first-parties don't provide a means to mint canaries you have to mint your own real keys.
