Cyber Threat Intelligence and Digital Risk Protection
Fake Site and Account Takedown
We send evidence-based notices to relevant providers to remove sites and accounts imitating your brand. We follow each case until it is resolved.
What it is
Removing a fake site requires contacting the parties keeping it online: the hosting provider, domain registrar and relevant platform. Each reviews abuse reports under its own policy, so the evidence must be clear and fit the provider's policy.
Scope
- Identifying the fake site's hosting and domain registration details
- Evidence file with screenshots, timestamps and technical records
- Abuse notices to the hosting provider, registrar and platforms
- Reporting phishing URLs to browser security warning lists
- Evidence support for your legal team in domain dispute processes such as UDRP
- Monitoring whether removed content reappears at another address
The need
When organizations need it
- When a phishing site imitating your brand is collecting data from your customers.
- When a fake mobile app or social media account collects payments or support requests in your name.
- When your own notices have gone unanswered.
Method
How we work
-
Evidence
We record the site's content, domain and hosting details with timestamps.
-
Notice
We send each provider a notice tailored to its abuse policy.
-
Follow-up
We monitor responses and, if needed, escalate to the next party in the chain.
-
Closure
We confirm the takedown and monitor for the same content at another address.
Outcome
What you have at the end
For each fake site and account, the notices, responses and outcome are kept in one record. This record is an evidence file your legal team can also use.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a takedown take?
The timeframe depends on the provider's policy and response speed, so no time or outcome is guaranteed. Reporting to browser warning lists can reduce access to the site during this process.
Does it work with providers abroad?
Yes. The notice is sent to the provider's abuse channel regardless of country. The outcome still depends on the provider's decision.
Can the fake domain be transferred to us?
If you have trademark rights, transfer or cancellation can be requested through dispute processes such as UDRP. Your legal team manages this process, and we provide technical evidence.
