What is Brand Impersonation?
Brand Impersonation: Brand impersonation is when attackers create fake websites, social profiles, mobile apps, or deepfake content that looks like your brand to trick customers into giving up credentials or money.
Brand Impersonation Explained in Detail
Attackers register lookalike domains, clone your social pages, publish counterfeit apps, and generate fake executive videos. Customers trust your brand, so they hand over login details, payment information, or personal data without thinking twice.
Common Tactics
- Typosquatting: Domains with slight misspellings like
huntto.aiinstead ofhunto.ai. - Homograph attacks: Unicode characters that look identical to Latin letters.
- Fake social profiles: Cloned company pages on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram.
- Rogue apps: Counterfeit apps on the Play Store or App Store using your name and logo.
- Deepfakes: AI-generated video or audio of executives instructing staff to transfer funds.
