Phishing sites blocked in wallets and browsers while the takedown runs

A takedown can take days. Your customer may be clicking the link now. Blocking closes that gap: once ChainPatrol confirms a phishing site, it goes on the blocklists that wallets, DNS providers and browsers already check, so people see a warning instead of a fake login page. The takedown runs at the same time.

From detection to blocked

From detection to blocked

Blocking and the takedown run side by side.

Blocking and the takedown run side by side.

01

01

Detect and score

A suspected site is detected or reported, then scanned and scored.

02

02

Confirm

Clear threats are approved automatically. Borderline ones, and anything that matches your official assets, go to an analyst first.

03

03

Block

The site goes on the blocklist and reaches every integration.

04

04

Take down

The takedown is filed with the registrar and host at the same time.

05

Recheck

Liveness checks keep watching the site until it is confirmed down.

Why blocking first matters

Why blocking first matters

Registrars and hosts set the pace of a takedown, and some take weeks. Blocking is the step that can happen within minutes. The takedown still matters, because it reaches people who aren’t covered by a blocklist and stops the operator reusing the domain.

False positives and disputes

False positives and disputes

Blocking a legitimate site is costly, so borderline cases get human review and your allowlisted domains are left out of automatic detection. If one of your own assets is compromised, it can be blocked until it’s fixed. Anyone can dispute a block at chainpatrol.com/dispute.
