Phishing domain detection
Phishing domain detection finds newly registered domains that imitate yours, before they are used against your customers. CertPing Anti-Phishing checks new registrations every day for look-alikes of your domain, such as typos, swapped characters, payment words or the same name on another ending, and alerts you with the reason and a risk level. The first scan is free.

How look-alike domains are used
Attackers register names that are one character away from yours, or add a word like pay or billing, then use them for fake login pages and invoices.
Your customers see a familiar name and trust it. Most businesses only learn about a look-alike after someone has already been fooled.

02What is a look-alike domain?
A look-alike domain is a name registered to resemble a real one, such as examp1e.com for example.com or example-billing.com. Attackers use them for phishing pages and fake invoices because the name looks familiar.

04Does CertPing take down phishing domains?
No. CertPing detects look-alike domains and alerts you. It does not block or take down domains. You decide what to do with each finding.

A finding moves through investigation, ownership, evidence capture, escalation and disposition in CertPing. You can mark false positives without losing the audit trail.
