Detect breaches with Canary credit cards!

TL;DR;

Today we’re releasing a new Canarytoken type: actual credit cards!

1. Head over to canarytokens.org;
2. We give you a valid credit card (number, expiration, and CVC);
3. If anyone ever attempts to use that card you’ll be notified.

Good news: local authorities can now (apply to) enforce traffic offences like driving in the bus lane, ignoring "no left/right turn" and "no entry" signs, and blocking box junctions. Previously, only the police could issue fines, but were often too busy to do so. It's a good solution, as local authorities want to solve traffic issues. southend.gov.uk/news/article/2

Keep your right to vote by getting a Voter Authority Certificate if you don't have other valid ID. Learn about it here: electoralcommission.org.uk/i-a
