Would you mind clarifying what a canary is? I understand it is referencing the idea of a canary in a coal mine but what does that look like in this context? Other than having a separate account to which you transfer most of your funds so you can't get robbed at gunpoint and be forced to transfer someone your money I'm drawing a blank here - sorry.

I cannot remember the details, but one of my favorite canarys was a website that had a paragraph that basically stated we have not been compromised in the past 24 hours. It had a timer that had to be rest daily or the paragraph whould disappear from the website.
