Frequently Asked Questions
How do disruption and takedown complement each other?
Combining both takedowns and blocking in Netcraft’s threat intelligence feeds together allows cyber attacks to be mitigated 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 a whole TLD like .fr, can also be involved in some circumstances.
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, there is often only a single party with influence over the attack—the social media platform itself.
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 provides 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.
Law enforcement agencies: Depending on the type and impact of the attack, you may need to contact the law enforcement agency in the hosting company’s local jurisdiction.
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 the:
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, leading to the respect and trust we have earned over decades of experience. This enables productive relationships to disrupt and take down attacks swiftly.
How is malicious content taken down?
We automatically identify hosting providers, domain registrars, social media platforms, webmasters, and others, and determine 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 over 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.
