Do you think any one in practice will be watching for this domain? My suspicion is that it will still work for most people, but I am ignorant, and am basing this on how competent I see people behave in general.

Moving that item up to be more prominent does sound like a good idea though

Would depend on the method. For the ones that are automated like opening a PDF - I doubt many attackers will bother blacklisting the domain in their DNS.

But for the manual ones, like opening a link - it'd probably be better to host them at a much less suspicious sounding domain.

I would bet money that multiple governments already do.

Hmm, why? It seems like another risk to let people mark urls as 'please do not read' and respect it

An easier service would be if canarytokens.org allowed us to CNAME our a subdomain of our company, so the token would be sent to hj.example.com. But that would make canarytoken.org a public service, which requires funding.

You totally can?
