The Fraudox blog
Threat research, takedown playbooks, and field notes on phishing, impersonation, fake apps, and scam domains.
Nobody can guarantee a takedown
The registrar, the host or the platform makes the decision, every single time. A vendor promising a 100% removal rate is promising something it does not control. Here is what is actually in our hands.
The surfaces where brand impersonation actually shows up
Impersonation is not one channel. A detection program that only watches domains and one social network misses ads, app stores, marketplaces, messaging and revived assets, which is where most cases are found late.
Certificate transparency: seeing a lookalike domain before it launches
Public certificate transparency logs record almost every TLS certificate issued. For brand monitoring that is a near real-time feed of hostnames, often days before a phishing page goes live.
The takedown is not the end: monitoring for recurrence
Removed phishing pages redeploy, suspended accounts return with a new handle, and pulled apps reappear under a fresh developer account. Recurrence is the workload most programs forget to plan for.
Affordable takedown service for individuals, startups and enterprise teams
How to compare affordable and cheap takedown services by confirmed removals, not report submissions, and which pricing model fits individuals, startups and enterprise teams.
Digital risk protection vs takedown service: detection is not removal
Digital risk protection tools discover external threats. A takedown service turns confirmed threats into removals through evidence, reporting, escalation and verification.
How Fraudox gets takedown pricing down to $4 per removal
Fraudox Pro Plus is $120/month for 30 successful takedowns, which works out to $4 per confirmed removal when the quota is used.
Cheap takedown service: what to check before you buy
A cheap takedown service should be judged by confirmed removals, not report submissions. Here is what to check before you compare prices.
Brand protection without the annual retainer
Fraudox gives smaller teams a monthly, success-based alternative to annual brand protection contracts, with takedowns from $4 per confirmed removal on Pro Plus.
What evidence do you need for a takedown report?
A takedown report needs the exact target, proof of ownership, screenshots, timestamps, the harm being caused and the action you want the provider to take.
