Usurpation

Online usurpa­tion involves send­ing fraud­u­lent emails cre­at­ed from domain names that are sim­i­lar to the brand, which may appear legit­i­mate to the recip­i­ents and link to copy web­sites.

Of course, usurpa­tion is also com­mon on social net­works where the cre­ation of fake pro­files of com­pa­nies and indi­vid­u­als are wide­spread. The only solu­tion is to mon­i­tor social net­works in order to detect usurpa­tions as soon as pos­si­ble and to act to stop the attack
