Stopping a Massive Phishing Campaign
How a leading fintech company eliminated 200+ phishing sites targeting their customers in under 48 hours.
The Challenge
A rapidly growing fintech company with millions of users was being targeted by a sophisticated phishing operation. Attackers had registered over 200 lookalike domains and were launching credential harvesting campaigns via SMS and email.
The Impact
- Customer trust declining due to successful phishing attacks
- Support tickets flooding in about suspicious messages
- Account takeover incidents increasing weekly
- Brand reputation at risk

- Customer complaints dropped to near zero
About these figures: this case study describes work for a client we cannot name under our confidentiality terms, so the results above cannot be independently verified by you. They reflect what was measured during that engagement and are not a promise of the same outcome — takedown speed depends on the registrars, hosts and registries involved, which no provider controls. We are happy to walk through our methodology, and to arrange a reference call where a client has agreed to it.
