Look-alike domain
Domains made to resemble the brand with a typo, a look-alike character or an added word are found.
Notice look-alike domains before they go live.
Authex generates look-alike domain candidates for your brand and checks which are registered and live. Domains running as fake shops or phishing sites are recorded with evidence.
Scope

Process
From finding to outcome.
Scope is defined
Brand name, products, official images, authorized sellers and allowed domains are entered.
Scans are scheduled
Channels, countries and scan frequency are chosen; scans then run on that schedule by themselves.
Findings are reviewed
Findings are ranked by risk level; the team confirms, reviews or dismisses each one.
Action is tracked
A confirmed finding gets an action record, a notice draft and an evidence package. The right holder or their lawyer files the notice, and the process is tracked on the record.
FAQ
Questions about Domain Monitoring
Does Authex ask for the domain to be taken down?
No. Authex records the domain and site with evidence and prepares a draft abuse report for the registrar or hosting provider. The right holder or their lawyer files the report or a domain dispute.
What about domains that are not live yet?
Registered but empty domains are recorded. If content appears in a later scan, the finding is updated.
Will our own domains become findings?
No. The brand's official and allowed domains are kept out of scope.
