Two Scan Options

Pre- & Suffix Scan: Our Zone Scan searches the domain landscape for a keyword / brand of your choice. It also includes more than 3 million prefixes and suffixes. In this way you can easily find out which websites are currently using or copying your brand / website and take further steps against the cyber criminals. Examples for pre- & suffixes:

  • Yourbrand24

Typo-Scan: Typosquatting, also called URL hijacking, a sting site, or a fake URL, is a form of cybersquatting, and possibly brandjacking which relies on mistakes such as typos made by Internet users when inputting a website address into a web browser. Should a user accidentally enter an incorrect website address, they may be led to any URL (including an alternative website owned by a cybersquatter). Typosquatting domains are also often used for fake phishing mails. Our typosquatting scan uncovers exactly these domains. You can then investigate whether you are at risk of becoming a victim of typosquatting scams.

Note: In order to receive a complete report on the current situation, we recommend booking both scan variants.

Facts About Domain Related Cyber Crime

One in four companies worldwide are affected by domain squatting, namely, the fraudulent registration and use of domains containing protected trademark terms. In 2019, 85% of all retail brands have been affected by fake domains offering counterfeit products or services to potential buyers. This causes immense economic damage and keeps lawyers from all over the world busy.

Nearly 99% of the identity theft cases on domain level remain undetected. Cyber criminals are therefore able to continue to harm brand owners on a daily basis. With the introduction of almost 1,000 new domain extensions, the problem has become even more acute. Cyber criminals can use the new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to register domains containing protected terms and brand names on these new domain endings. In many cases, spoofing websites are then deployed via these fake domains. These copied spoofing websites are often not recognizable to users at first glance, because the correct brand name appears in the browser bar.

Identical fake domains can now be found for 96% of all companies doing business in the Internet. Cyber criminals come up with tricky ideas. They replace individual letters with letters from foreign alphabets or with numbers. For example, by using a “0” instead of the letter “O.” This difference is difficult to notice on the screen… Here are a few good reasons why you should protect your brand name from being used in third-party domains.

  • 85% of all retail companies are victims of fake domains or spoofing websites
    offering counterfeit products.
  • 99% of all fraudulent domains
    remain undetected because of missing data.
  • 96% of all companies are victim of
    matching fake domains.
  • 85% of all fake domains are deploying phishing and spoofing attacks.

Our Zone Scan offers exactly the right solution for this issue! Find out if you’re currently a victim of identity theft and take action against cyber criminals based on our Zone Scan report.
