3 pointsby metachrisover 7 years ago
Let&#x27;s say I&#x27;ve got a company with the name and domain great-software.com, and someone started running a scam domain called greatsoftware.tech. This website tries to trick users into providing their account details and stealing their funds. The scam domain is registered with a Russian domain registrar.<p>Have should I go about this, and what options do I have?<p>Thanks a lot.

Warn your existing accounts, give the usual cautions against social engineering phishing attacks to gain their credentials. If accounts are valuable, give each an account USB U2F security key, if capable of that kind of security. Adds $10 to your costs, but might be cheaper. Or you can use an Android or Apple security App, like gmail does. Might aggravate clients. It is a balance.<p>U2F sells here<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;HyperFido-K5-FIDO-U2F-Security&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B00WIX4JMC&#x2F;ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1512037601&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=U2F+security+key" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;HyperFido-K5-FIDO-U2F-Security&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B00...</a>
