Domain & Website Takedown by Netcraft removes validated domain-based attacks quickly to minimize impact. It operates 24/7 to discover phishing, fraud, scams, and cyber attacks using automation, AI, machine learning, and human insight. Once a cyber attack such as a phishing website, fake social media profile, or fraudulent email has been detected and validated with Netcraft’s threat intelligence process, it blocks access to attacks and initiates the takedown process. Netcraft licenses its feeds to browsers, antivirus companies, and internet infrastructure companies, protecting billions of internet users while its automated takedown services work to remove the attack completely. The takedown service leverages extensive automation to gather and present evidence of the malicious content, identify hosting providers, domain registrars, webmasters, social media platforms, and others involved in the attack’s infrastructure, send notifications to each party, and monitor attacks during and after the takedown process to ensure it is eliminated. Netcraft’s digital risk protection platform covers over 100 cyber attack types including phishing, malware, advance fee fraud, and more. It is designed by a team of cybercrime experts who can adjust to new threats and attack types as they emerge. Netcraft’s takedown service blocks and removes malicious content quickly, typically within hours, and monitors the takedown process to ensure the attack is eliminated. The service is integrated with external threat intelligence and enterprise systems, making it simple to track and share critical incident data and events.
