Uncover Hidden Threats
Shadow domains are registered but not yet active—sitting dormant until attackers decide to strike. These domains often contain your brand name, product names, or campaign keywords, waiting to be weaponized for phishing or fraud.
By identifying these domains early, you gain critical lead time to take defensive action before attacks launch.
What We Monitor
- New registrations – Daily monitoring of zone files for brand-related domains
- Dormant domains – Tracking of inactive domains matching your keywords
- Activation alerts – Immediate notification when dormant domains go live
- Infrastructure changes – DNS and hosting changes indicating imminent use
Shadow Domain Indicators
We flag domains based on multiple risk indicators:
- Brand keyword presence in domain name
- Privacy protection on WHOIS records
- Registration through high-risk registrars
- Correlation with known threat actor patterns
- TLD risk profile (e.g., .tk, .ml, .ga)
