Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
