Taking down fraudulent domains
Potentially fraudulent sites with similar domains are monitored on the Domains Typo-squatting tab. If a site is determined to be fraudulent or damaging to the company, you can initiate the takedown of the site. Once takedown is initiated, the FortiRecon team works with external agencies to take corrective action.
|
Takedown can be initiated when the domain hosts content infringing on your organization's intellectual property, such as a logo, or is impersonating your organization's website. A domain cannot be taken down if the domain is similar to that of your organization but there is no content infringement. |
To initiate takedown:
-
Go to Brand Protection > Domain Typo-squatting and find the domain you want to take down.
-
Select Takedown. A confirmation message is displayed.
-
Click Yes.
The FortiRecon team initiates the takedown process, and a tracking Ticket with the domain information is displayed.
-
Go to Brand Protection > Take Down to review the status of the domain takedown.
