Brand abuse and content removal. We can work with social networks, search engines, and online marketplaces to remove infringing, abusive, or fraudulent content.
While a phishing takedown action is underway, you can also block domains, web content, email, and SMS via our DomaincastingSM blocking network.
Once a takedown action has been successful, we also offer:
-
Forensics. We work with you to perform post-mortem forensics and data recovery where applicable.

After-action monitoring. We continue to monitor fraudulent sites after takedown to ensure they don’t reactivate. If a site reactivates, we’ll take it down again at no cost.
