How do I disable/enable a Canarytoken?

Learn how to disable or enable a Canarytoken via the Canary Console. Log in, search for your token, and toggle its status under “Token Status” to stop or resume alerts.

What happens if you deploy a Canarytoken that an attacker trips, and then discovers? Can the attacker trip it repeatedly just to annoy you?
