Domain Hijacking

Protect your company’s digital business card

Your website is your organisation’s digital business card. In a domain hijacking attack, criminals gain unauthorised control over your domain — to redirect traffic, harvest data, or damage your reputation. A single successful attack can lead to data theft and irreparable brand damage.

What is domain hijacking?

Domain hijacking is the unauthorised takeover of a domain name. Attackers use a variety of techniques to gain access to your domain registration and can subsequently redirect your website, intercept email, or steal data from your visitors.

Social Engineering

Exploiting human weaknesses to obtain passwords and gain access to domain management.

Registrar Hacking

Hacking domain registrars at scale to seize control of multiple domains simultaneously.

Phishing & Malware

Deploying keyloggers and phishing campaigns to steal domain administrator credentials.

What’s at stake?

The consequences of domain hijacking are far-reaching. You not only face immediate risk of data loss, but your business reputation can suffer irreparable damage.

Unsafe for customers

Data entered through your domain ends up in the hands of criminals. Your customers become direct victims.

Reputation damage

Victims were targeted through your domain — devastating for your brand image and customer trust.

Traffic redirection

Visitors are unknowingly redirected to malicious websites fully controlled by the attacker.

Data harvesting

Your original website is cloned to capture data from unsuspecting visitors.
