A phishing attack is an attempt, usually via e-mail, to trick an individual into divulging personal information, particularly details about credit card or financial accounts. "Phishing" attacks are becoming more prevalent and more sophisticated, and pose a serious threat to organizations on several levels.
Digital Defense offers a specialized Phisher Alert Service to alert you of possible attack, and quickly put the phishing sites out of business.
How it works
We seek out web sites that appear to support phishing attacks and monitor SPAM e-mail to spot likely phishing messages.
Services include:
Detection Services
Utilize proprietary technology to find phishing sites — even those invisible to traditional Web spiders and search engines
Escalate them for review by Internet Identity security analysts
Report sites found to be targeting your brand
Online portal and optional e-mail alert
Response Services
Block phishing attacks at the browser or gateway level

Internet Identity's multi-lingual fraud analysts available 24/7 to disable, shut down, or disrupt phishing sites
Deactivation process
We use lawful means to shut down phishing sites on your behalf. The deactivation process usually includes the following steps:
Detect and verify the phishing site
Report the phishing site URL to all RealPhish subscribers
Determine the phishing website location
Determine the domain name registrar, if any
Perform other research or forensic investigation as necessary
Contact the Host and/or supporting Internet service providers
Contact the Registrar to remove the domain name from the DNS and lock the domain registration
Monitor the hosting location for 30 days after deactivation.
If the site is reactivated during that time, we will deactivate it again at no additional charge
Retain full records for all phishing sites that we have deactivated
