A third-party domain is impersonating our legitimate business identity. We need support preparing and submitting takedown reports, reviewing the domain’s technical setup, identifying the relevant registrar / DNS / hosting / email providers, and helping us protect our official web presence. Scope of work: * Review the impersonating domain and collect technical evidence. * Identify registrar, DNS, hosting, CDN, email and related infrastructure. * Prepare abuse reports for registrar, hosting provider, email provider, CDN and browser-security vendors. * Assist with phishing / scam reports to Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen and other relevant platforms. * Prepare a clean evidence pack with screenshots, DNS records, headers, URLs and supporting proof. * Help configure or review our official website notice page listing verified domains and known impersonation domains. * Review our official domain security posture, including DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and basic anti-impersonation controls. * Recommend immediate defensive actions to reduce fraud, email spoofing, payment-diversion and phishing risk. Ideal experience: * Domain abuse and phishing takedown handling. * DNS, WHOIS, MX, TXT, SPF, DKIM and DMARC analysis. * Registrar, hosting, CDN and email-provider escalation. * Google Safe Browsing / Microsoft SmartScreen / Netcraft / Spamhaus style reporting. * Website security, brand protection or cyber incident response. * Clear documentation and evidence packaging. Deliverables: 1. Technical review of the impersonating domain. 2. Provider identification and escalation list. 3. Abuse-report drafts and submission-ready evidence pack. 4. Recommendations to secure our official domains and website. 5. Support implementing or reviewing our official domain notice / scam-warning page. This is urgent. Please only apply if you have direct experience with phishing-domain takedowns, domain abuse reporting, DNS investigation or cyber incident response.
