    Any idea on how to roll-your-own canary token for an unsupported token provider like Cloudflare&#x2F;Stripe&#x2F;OpenAI? Do you just make a real Cloudflare&#x2F;Stripe&#x2F;OpenAI account, create an API key, and vibecode an alerting system?<p>I&#x27;m kinda surprised that they haven&#x27;t expanded beyond their existing token providers.

      That&#x27;s the issue. If the first-parties don&#x27;t provide a means to mint canaries you have to mint your own real keys.

    I think this service is already pretty good, but when defending against LLM based attacks, they&#x27;re a godsend. Current tools don&#x27;t appear to be too discerning.

    They make credit cards. Obviously they&#x27;re not real cards but what sort of financial wizardry is required to make that possible? And given it&#x27;s vibecoded that means Claude knows how to make fake credit cards now?

      They’re real virtual cards actually. Source: I added the feature

      &gt; given it&#x27;s vibecoded<p>Why is this a given? This service has been around for longer than LLMs have been a thing.

        Vibecoding has seriously eroding the trust we have in public software. Hopefully there&#x27;s some of badge projects can use to clarify how much Ai was in charge of it.<p>- No LLMs<p>- LLMs as tools<p>- LLMs decided some things<p>- YOLO vibecoded

      There are many, many services for programmatically issuing credit cards that you can control from code. For example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;issuing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;issuing</a>
