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.

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?

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

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's some of badge projects can use to clarify how much Ai was in charge of it.
- No LLMs
- LLMs as tools
- LLMs decided some things
- YOLO vibecoded

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