FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you detect typosquats?
Yes. We can monitor lookalike patterns around brand names, product names, and domains, then review live pages for abuse indicators.
Can every rogue domain be taken down?
No. Action depends on the domain behavior, applicable policies, available evidence, registrar or host response, and legal context.
