Anti-Phishing
A phishing attack is an attempt, usually via e-mail, to trick an individual into divulging personal information, particularly details about credit card or financial accounts. "Phishing" attacks are becoming more prevalent and more sophisticated, and pose a serious threat to organizations on several levels.
Digital Defense offers a specialized Phisher Alert Service to alert you of possible attack, and quickly put the phishing sites out of business.
How it works
We seek out web sites that appear to support phishing attacks and monitor SPAM e-mail to spot likely phishing messages.
Services include:
- Detection Services
- Utilize proprietary technology to find phishing sites — even those invisible to traditional Web spiders and search engines
- Escalate them for review by Internet Identity security analysts
- Report sites found to be targeting your brand
- Online portal and optional e-mail alert
- Response Services
- Block phishing attacks at the browser or gateway level
- Receive reports via a RealPhish data feed
- Report sites to Internet Identity for tracking and blocking
- Site Takedown Services
- Work collaboratively with law enforcement agencies around the world
- Internet Identity's multi-lingual fraud analysts available 24/7 to disable, shut down, or disrupt phishing sites
Deactivation process
We use lawful means to shut down phishing sites on your behalf. The deactivation process usually includes the following steps:
- Detect and verify the phishing site
- Report the phishing site URL to all RealPhish subscribers
- Determine the phishing website location
- Determine the domain name registrar, if any
- Perform other research or forensic investigation as necessary
- Contact the Host and/or supporting Internet service providers
- Contact the Registrar to remove the domain name from the DNS and lock the domain registration
- Monitor the hosting location for 30 days after deactivation.
- If the site is reactivated during that time, we will deactivate it again at no additional charge
- Retain full records for all phishing sites that we have deactivated
