Every year, we try to give our customers a small gift from Thinkst Canary.
Previously we did the Canary Swiss Army Knives¹.
This year, it's the awesome Mako kit from iFixit
All told, we've shipped just under a ton of them 🤯

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!"

Leighton & Sharukh just snuck a quick update into canarytokens.org to allow you to easily manage all the tokens you've previously created.
Still just $0.00
Still one of the best things you can do to detect attackers before they dig in...

Today we released our new (free) AWS Infrastructure Canarytoken on canarytokens.org.
It catches attackers in your AWS account by putting tempting assets in their way and alerting you if they get probed.

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).

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!)
