Cyber attacks that exploit your brand

Building on more than 25 years of experience surveying the internet, we use our extensive collection of domain information, website front pages, search engine advertisements, social media sites, spam mail feeds, and app stores to identify the following online threats:

Rogue Mobile Apps

Fake apps which impersonate organizations’ legitimate applications, in order to gain access to their users’ personal details.

Fake Shops

Claiming to offer highly discounted goods, these shops are simply a front to capture users’ payment information, and will deliver counterfeit products (or none at all).

Malicious JavaScript/ Shopping Site Skimmers

JavaScript embedded into compromised web pages that send payment details to the cyber criminal.

Investment Scams

Encourage victims to transfer funds to the criminal on the promise of large returns, often impersonating well-known public figures.

Deceptive Domains

Domains which are deceptively similar to legitimate websites, thus lending credibility to a cyber attack.

Survey Scams

Scams which trick victims into thinking they are being marketed to by a well-known company or brand.

Malicious Email Addresses

Email addresses participating in advance fee fraud schemes, found in the millions of spam emails that Netcraft analyzes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is online brand protection important?

A brand’s online identity, whether that’s a website, social media profile, ecommerce platform or any other online presence, is often the primary point of interaction between a business and its customers. A good brand reputation can take years to build, but can quickly be tarnished by cybercriminals who will seize any opportunity to exploit a brand’s reputation for their own malicious goals.

What are the risks to my organization?

Your website is the cornerstone of your online identity. Attacks that are carried out on websites purporting to be your organization – and therefore on your brand – can have devastating effects on your reputation, for both your existing customer base and future prospects.

How do cybercriminals exploit my brand?

Cybercriminals use a variety of tactics, including setting up fake shops that drive traffic away from legitimate sites, phishing sites that steal the credentials of would-be customers, or survey scams that impersonate your brand to carry out fake contests with nonexistent prizes.

Why is it important to take down fraudulent websites quickly?

When your brand is being exploited, every second counts. Before you’re even aware there’s a problem, a single fraudster from across the globe could establish hundreds of fraudulent online shopping websites using your brand’s identity. Traditional methods of taking down websites can be slow and ineffective, allowing criminals to keep operating and doing untold harm to your brand and consumers.

How long does it take Netcraft to take down a fraudulent site that’s exploiting my brand?

A suspected scam website can be analyzed, validated, and takedown notifications dispatched within minutes of discovery. Content can be taken down within hours.
