Seamless Integration
Our web platform and flexible APIs integrate seamlessly with other external threat intelligence and enterprise SIEM platforms, enabling easy tracking and sharing of critical incident data and events.
Prior [to Netcraft], there was just a lack of efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency in terms of the steps being taken [by the previous provider] to mitigate risk once we reported an attack other than an acknowledgement that they received a report. After that, we wouldn’t know if those steps were effective and if the attack is effectively offline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do disruption and takedown complement each other?
Combining both takedowns and blocking in Netcraft’s threat intelligence feeds allows us to mitigate cyber attacks most effectively. While Netcraft’s apps and extensions benefit from the full range of blocked attack types, not everybody has these installed and active. Netcraft’s threat data partners — which include browsers and antivirus companies — collectively protect billions of people within minutes, providing a second layer of protection. That protection is, however, at the discretion of each partner. Some may take longer than others to act, and others may vary the protection level across desktop and mobile platforms.
By complementing blocking with takedowns, Netcraft ensures a proactive approach by promptly removing the malicious content at its source, regardless of the devices or systems in use.
Which parties can be involved in a cyber attack takedown?
Cybercriminals can make use of a variety of different hosting platforms, domain names, and other infrastructure to power their attacks, including:
Webmasters: In the case of a compromised website, the webmaster may be entirely unaware of their own website being taken over by a criminal and will be able to respond decisively. In other cases where a lookalike domain has been used, the webmaster is the criminal and contacting them may be actively harmful.
Domain registrars and registries: A domain name registrar handles the purchase and registration of domain names. You can find a website’s registrar information using a database like WHOIS or RDAP. Domain name registries, those that directly control an entire top-level domain (TLD) such as .fr, could also potentially be involved.
Hosting companies: A hosting company provides the platform and services required to keep a website online. Often, a hosting company can provide valuable data, logs, and information left behind by the criminal that can help identify impacted customers and mitigate damage caused by the attack.
Social media platforms: For fake social media profiles, ads, and posts, the social media platform itself is often the only party with influence over the attack.
Email providers: Email providers can disable accounts used to disseminate fraudulent emails, including those that link to malicious content. It’s often necessary to have access to the full email, including its mail headers, which detail the origin of the email.
Upstream providers: The upstream provider is an internet service provider (ISP) that supplies bandwidth and facilitates the connection to a smaller network. In some circumstances, particularly where whole networks appear to be controlled by an attacker, upstream providers may be able to discontinue service.
Why is evidence important?
Infrastructure providers need detailed evidence about the attack before they act. The more information provided, the better positioned we are to expedite the takedown. Evidence includes:
URLs and domain names involved in the attack
IP address (or addresses)
Screenshots and videos of the attack
Known access restrictions. For example, an attack may only be visible on mobile networks in the targeted country. If not provided, the provider will not be able to confirm the attack or act on the request.
Netcraft takes an evidence-based approach, resulting in the respect and trust we have earned over decades. This enables productive relationships to effectively disrupt and take down attacks swiftly.
How is malicious content taken down?
Netcraft automatically identifies hosting providers, domain registrars, social media platforms, webmasters, and others, then determines how to notify them most effectively (via email, API, private contact, or otherwise). We then gather and present evidence of the cyber attack to demonstrate the problem to those with the ability to remove the attack.
For how long are attacks monitored?
Attacks are monitored for seven days after they are taken down, and if malicious content returns, the takedown process is restarted.
How many attack types can Netcraft detect, block, and take down?
Netcraft can remove 100+ different attack types, including phishing, malware, fraudulent social media profiles, fake shops, and brand infringement.
Can I monitor the takedown process?
Yes! Our web platforms and flexible APIs integrate with external threat intelligence and enterprise systems, making tracking and sharing critical incident data and events simple.
