How Malicious and Lookalike Domains Are Detected Before Takedown

Malicious and lookalike domain takedowns usually begin with detection and evidence collection, not an immediate removal request. Through its collaboration with Cyble, Drona Cyber Solutions can support the identification and investigation of domains associated with phishing, impersonation or fraudulent activity. The process may include: Monitoring newly registered or suspicious domains resembling a brand, executive or public figure Reviewing domain, DNS, hosting and available registration information Preserving screenshots, URLs and evidence of copied branding or deceptive content Assessing whether the domain is being used for phishing, impersonation or fraud Escalating verified abuse through the appropriate registrar, registry, hosting provider or platform
