Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to protect my brand’s domain?

Online retailers and businesses across all sectors use websites and domains to sell services and develop their brand. Criminals will ‘spoof’ your legitimate domain in order to make their cyber attacks appear more convincing.

What’s the risk of domain spoofing to my organization?

Your brand reputation, your customer loyalty, and ultimately your financial bottom line is at risk because your website is often the primary point of interaction between your business and customers— as well as your employees, partners, and prospective employees.

How do cybercriminals spoof my domain?

Criminals will use a number of techniques to trick a victim into thinking that the fraudulent website is legitimate. This includes registering and substituting look-alike characters, such as “o” (letter O) and “0” (zero) with the domain.

The impersonating website will often include duplicated logos, trademarks, and products of the legitimate site to make the scam more convincing. Victims are reassured when they see familiar branding, and are less likely to suspect malicious activity.

What is typosquatting?

Typosquatting occurs when criminals register a common misspelling of another organization’s domain as their own. If you mistype the legitimate site (for example, www.bbcco.uk) you’ll arrive at the criminal’s site instead. In many cases, the site will have been crafted to resemble the legitimate site you intended to visit.
