Challenges Facing Brands Today from Fake and Spoof Websites

Limited visibility due to manual and legacy approaches

Scammers overwhelm the internet with scam websites faster than manual methods can handle. Tools like Google Alerts and software that iterate lookalike domain names (e.g., Dnstwist) fail to effectively detect today’s spoofs and waste time with false alarms. Outdated approaches such as these drain resources, exhaust employees, and leave your brand’s bottom line, financial future, and reputation at risk.

Sluggish, frustrating response processes

 Every minute a scam website remains live defrauds more consumers and inflicts more reputation damage. Slow takedown times and unsatisfactory success rates hurt acquisition, retention, and engagement, threatening your brand’s growth and future. Building rapport with the ever-expanding ecosystem of hosts, registrars, DNS providers, ISPs, CDNs, etc. is a challenge without regular contact. And without strong relationships, takedown requests are delayed or ignored resulting in slow and ineffective response.

Failure to keep up with fraudster innovation

 Scammers constantly evolve their tactics to create and promote spoof websites. They use generative AI to rapidly produce volumes of convincing content and bot protection to evade detection. These and other innovations result in an overwhelming amount of realistic, deceptive sites that consumers have trouble distinguishing from legitimate ones. And, this significantly challenges cybersecurity, fraud, marketing, and legal teams trying to get ahead, prevent fraud, and protect their reputation.

Reveal scam testing activity

Protect your content with digital watermarks with call home functionality for real-time notifications when it’s replicated in places it shouldn’t be. Identify suspicious redirects to your website indicating scammer testing or for tracking victims.

DECOY DATA

Deceive and expose fraudsters

We deploy decoy data as an offensive capability that inserts dummy credentials into phishing sites. This tactic drives scammers to abandon their operations, exposes them when they attempt to use or sell the fake credentials, and strengthens fraud detection and authentication systems by training them to block (or monitor) unauthorized access.
