CYBERCRIME ALERTS DECEPTIVE DOMAIN SCORE THREAT INTELLIGENCE HOSTING PROVIDER
ANALYSIS PHISHING AND MALWARE REPORTS

CYBERCRIME ALERTS

Timely notifications to registrars and hosting companies if cybercriminals are
using any aspect of their infrastructure.

DECEPTIVE DOMAIN SCORE

A tool for domain registrars, registries, and certificate authorities to
determine the likelihood that a domain name will be used for fraudulent
activities.

THREAT INTELLIGENCE

Each day, millions of URLs are classified according to the various types of
attacks to produce malicious site and threat intelligence feeds.

HOSTING PROVIDER ANALYSIS

An independent, worldwide view, on the numbers of web servers, the rate of
growth, the operating systems, and web server technology used at each hosting
company.

PHISHING AND MALWARE REPORTS

Registrars, hosting providers, and ISPs are able to provide a footprint of their
IP addresses, name servers, and WHOIS servers, so that when we validate a
phishing report, they receive an alert if the phishing site is using any aspect
of their infrastructure.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens if Netcraft detects your infrastructure is being used to host
phishing attacks?

Netcraft provides validated alerts when phishing sites are detected. This is
essential for hosting companies and registrars who wish to maintain their
reputation.

What is the Netcraft Deceptive Domain Score?

The Deceptive Domain Score is a means of quantifying the likelihood of a domain
name being used for fraudulent activities, such as phishing campaigns.

How does the Deceptive Domain Score help registries and registrars?

Implementing a robust technical defense against abusive registration helps
protect the TLD from fraud and maintain public trust. The Deceptive Domain Score
can be used as part of this defense, making life more difficult for fraudsters
and simultaneously protecting the registry and registrar against fraudulent
payments.

How does the Deceptive Domain Score help certificate authorities?

Despite industry requirements for increased vetting of high-risk requests, many
criminals obtain SSL certificates for fraudulent domain names. Certificate
authorities can make use of the service to determine if a domain name is likely
to be used for fraudulent purposes before issuing the certificate.

Why do cybercriminals attempt to acquire SSL certificates?

SSL certificates lend an additional air of authenticity to phishing sites,
causing the victims’ browsers to display a padlock icon to indicate a secure
connection. Consumers have been trained to ‘look for the padlock’ in their
browser before submitting sensitive information to websites, such as passwords
and credit card numbers.

Are websites that use TLS more trustworthy?

The data submitted to a phishing site using TLS is protected from eavesdroppers.
However, a displayed padlock alone does not imply that a site using TLS can be
trusted, or is operated by a legitimate organization.
