Phishing, Identity Theft and Bank Fraud Detection
Netcraft has developed a service for banks and other financial organizations to track occurrences of their name, brands, trademarks and slogans on the Internet. The service helps companies identify sites which may be trying to construct frauds, identity theft and phishing attacks by pretending to be the bank, or are implying that the site has a relationship with the bank when in fact there is none.

Common attacks on banks through Internet content creation include phishing (attempts to trick account holders to give their account authentication details away), fraudulent association with the bank as part of investment scams, and trademark violation.

Through the Netcraft Web Server Survey, we have hostname & domain names for over 60 million web sites, and the front page content for over 25 million sites, and can check each of these for the occurrence of the bank's domains, trademarks & commonly used phrases.
