Find the domains pretending to be you

We watch around 500 web addresses made to look like each of yours, such as yourcompany-invoices.com. We re-check them every hour and alert you when one looks set up to attack you.

The free scan checks 150+ lookalikes of your domain in a couple of minutes and emails you the report. No account, no card.

Take it downThis is ours
  • ~500 lookalikes watched per domain, each re-checked every hour
  • 240+ domain endings covered, from .com to country endings
  • 100+ public certificate logs watched as new entries appear
  • 8 alert channels to choose from

How fast these attacks move

In one case we handled, a replacement fake domain was registered and sending fraud emails 28 minutes later.

That is why every lookalike we watch for you is re-checked every hour, and why we also watch public certificate logs as new entries appear.

A fake domain has to exist before the first fake invoice can be sent, and we watch for that moment.

Replacement registered and sending fraud emails

Four checks along an attacker's path

An attacker registers a lookalike, sets it up to send email, gets a certificate and copies your website. Each check watches for one of those steps, so a lookalike missed by one can still be caught by the next.

  1. Layer 1 Lookalike monitoring

    We watch the names an attacker is most likely to register

    We work out around 500 lookalikes of each domain you protect: typos, letters that look the same, your name plus a word like -invoices, and other endings like .co. Every one is re-checked every hour. When one is registered or gets a website, it goes on your watch list. If it looks set up to attack you (for example, its website copies yours), you get an alert.

    How lookalike monitoring works
    Watching yourcompany.com
    Example
    yourcornpany.comLetters that look the sameNot registered
    yourcompany.coDifferent endingNot registered
    yourcompany-invoices.comYour name plus a wordRegistered
    yourcompanyltd.comCompany nameNot registered
    yuorcompany.comTypoNot registered

    And hundreds more

  2. Layer 1 Mail-armed detection

    We spot when a lookalike domain is set up to send email

    Many attacks never build a website. A lookalike that can send email is enough to send your customers new bank details. When one gets a mail server, permission to send or a signing key, it goes on your watch list, and you can choose to be told. If a blocklist that spam filters use lists it as malicious, you get an alert.

    Why email-only lookalikes matter

    1. 09:41Mail server added (MX)
    2. 09:44Permission to send added (SPF)
    3. 09:52Signing key published (DKIM)

    Added to your watch list

  3. Layer 4 Certificate monitoring

    We watch public certificate logs for your name

    Every security certificate (the padlock) is recorded in a public log when it is issued. We watch 100+ of those logs as entries appear and look for your brand name anywhere in the address: on endings you never use, with hyphens added, with letters that look the same, or on a fake login subdomain of someone else's domain. This can show a site being set up before it goes live.

    How certificate monitoring works

    Example
    static.example.net
    shop.example.org
    login.yourcompany-secure.comMatches your brand
    mail.example.co
    api.example.dev
    cdn.example.io

    Certificate issued today. Site not switched on yet.

  4. Layers 2 and 3 Clone detection

    We find copies of your website

    Two layers work together. With embedded markers, the website marker (an optional small script or 1×1 image on pages you choose) tells us when a copy of the page loads somewhere else. Content fingerprinting searches the web for your site's wording, which finds copies rebuilt without your code.

    How clone detection works

    yourcompany.com

    The copy
    Alerted: copy of your site
    • Your website marker reported it as it loaded
    • Your sign-in page, on an address that is not yours
    • Screenshot and registration details saved as evidence

What this cannot catch

We watch around 500 names per domain that an attacker is most likely to use. A name nobody would predict can slip past that list. The certificate watch and the website marker are there to catch more of those.

What lands in your inbox

Every lookalike is sorted automatically: threats are alerted, doubtful ones go on a watch list, and the rest are marked safe. On Pro, someone on your side reads each alert. On Enterprise, our analysts check every alert first.

Evidence collected for you

Screenshots, who registered it and when, where it is hosted, its email set-up and its certificate.

A reason for every alert

What we found, why it matters and what to do next, with each signal behind the rating listed.

Sent where your team works

Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, webhook, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh.

If a lookalike is yours, mark it as yours and it leaves the threat list. If an alert is wrong, dismiss it. No report goes to anyone outside your company until you confirm a takedown.

If it's already live, start the takedown from the alert

The evidence is already attached. Once you confirm it is a live attack, one click sends it to up to 12 places that can act on it, all at once.

Browser warnings and blocklists

The blocklists that spam filters use get the report. When there is a website, so do the browser warning lists behind the red warning screens.

The companies that can switch it off

The registrar, the host and the email provider it uses get the evidence pack. When there is a website, search engines are asked to drop it from their results.

Automatic follow-up

If they have not acted, we chase the host and registrar at 48 and 96 hours, then go to the registry at 120 and 168 hours.

What you need to do to start

  1. Step 1

    Add your domains

    Lookalike monitoring, certificate watching and the daily check of your own domains need nothing else.

  2. Step 2

    Choose where alerts go

    Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, webhook or your security tools.

  3. Optional

    Add the website marker

    A small script or a 1×1 image on the pages you choose. You can leave it out.

Free scan. No account, no card details.

See which lookalikes of your domain already exist

The free scan checks 150+ lookalikes of your domain and shows which are registered and which can send email as you. Monitoring then watches around 500 per domain, every hour.

  • Typos, other endings and added words, such as yourcompany-invoices.com
  • Which ones are registered, and which are set up to send email as you
  • The report in your inbox, usually in a couple of minutes. No account, no card details, no sales call.

When the scan is done we ask for a work email to send the report to. Gmail, Outlook.com and other free addresses are not accepted.
