So what happens when the three offered domains become widely known to be fake? Can this service be federated and use custom domains or is it just another game of whack-a-mole?

From the landing page: "...and it's easy to setup a URL Canary on a custom domain name."

Not to be overly negative, but if you're going to the trouble of pointing a custom domain to this service, couldn't you just write a quick PHP script that mail()s out when it's accessed? As far as I can see, the only advantage of using this third-party site is convenience, a custom domain makes it much less so.
