Customer phishing protection

Customer phishing protection

Customer phishing protection is different from the email security that protects your employees. It stops phishing that uses your brand against your customers, by blocking the fake sites in their browsers and removing the accounts, ads and apps that send them there. ChainPatrol runs it as a fully managed service for firms whose customers move money.

02

02

Block the pages

Once we confirm a malicious website or phishing link, we block it across security integrations, including enterprise DNS filtering, within minutes. Major browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Firefox typically block it within 1–2 hours through Google Safe Browsing, so visitors see a warning while the takedown runs. Blocking applies to web domains and URLs. Fake social profiles and chat accounts are removed through platform takedowns.

03

Remove the lures

Accounts, ads and apps are filed with each platform under the right policy. We follow up until we’ve confirmed each case has been removed, and refile automatically when a provider stalls.

04

Help customers check

A verify page listing your official accounts and a pinned message in your communities give customers one place to check. See build a verify page.

05

Report

You can follow every case in the ChainPatrol app as it moves. Each month you also get a report of what’s been removed, what’s blocked with a takedown in progress, what’s still live and why, and what’s waiting on your approval.
