How Netcraft Detects & Disrupts Phishing Attacks
Netcraft combines rules-based logic, pattern recognition, and advanced AI to detect phishing attacks at scale. Our detection capabilities include real-time domain and infrastructure monitoring, credential harvesting and credential stuffing detection, headless browser analysis, proxy network intelligence, redirect chain tracking, and automated screenshot analysis — enabling identification of threats both before they go live and across active phishing campaigns.
Deploy countermeasures in real time to block cyber threats, with phishing websites removed from all major browsers in minutes. Users can monitor the status of these phishing scam sites — whether active or blocked — across browsers and devices, along with access to all related communications and takedown updates.
With years of experience and strong provider partnerships, website takedowns are swift and effective, with automatic reactivation if the phishing attack resurfaces within 7 days. Stay in the know about the status of each phishing campaign takedown throughout the process, from submission to response.
Our threat visibility extends beyond our customer base. It’s built on the largest proprietary data set in the industry, drawing from public DNS registrations, our cybercrime reporting community, and malicious activity reports contributed by some of the world’s largest organizations.
Automated evidence collection is combined with direct, native-language communication with service providers to ensure fast and efficient threat resolution.
