It’s no secret that adversaries love (ab)using security tooling . So.. Rad just shipped our latest Canarytoken to exploit this: a CrowdStrike API Key Canarytoken! Attackers who find it, have to use it - and when they do, they expose themselves. blog.thinkst.com/2026/02/intr...

The best thing about Canaries & Canarytokens, is when they surprise you: "printed some and put them round the office" "but then they were put into the bin, and at 21:43 someone scanned them… looks like this place has dumpster divers" "never thought that was still a thing"

This quarter we announced two new platforms for Canary: Oracle Cloud Infra. (OCI) & Nutanix. Our v1 was a hardware device, but today, Canary also runs on - GCP, - AWS, - VMware, - Azure, - Docker, - Tailscale, - OCI, - Nutanix. Still dead simple. Still "just works!"

We published an internal post¹ that our @marcoslaviero.bsky.social recently wrote "on caring". It's worth a read, because as he writes. caring about what is built is surprisingly fragile (and shockingly absent). __ ¹ blog.thinkst.com/2025/06/on-c...

A blog post¹ by Jacob Torrey on a new feature we excluded from Canary. It’s easy to ship everything you build, but resisting it is worth the effort. Is the benefit worth the increased cognitive load? Does it introduce new risks? (This time it did!) __ ¹ blog.thinkst.com/2025/02/almo...
