URGENT WEB SECURITY UPDATE: The NSA/CSS, after the FBI's website was spoofed (read report here), urgently advises all business owners, big and small, ask themself what happens when cybercriminals pretend to be part of your organization and start extorting cash from your customers or anyone who happens to visit the spoofed sites profiting from your online presence? What is your business doing today to protect itself and its customers from cybersquatters?

State-backed hackers exploit flaws in the domain name system to carry out espionage on a daily basis. If you are not defending the online presence of your business brand, the cost to your business could become so devastating that customers lose trust and faith. Unfortunately, defending your brand's online presence against cybersquatting can be expensive and few DNS security service providers are prepared to offer the protection your business needs. Worse yet, for some businesses, the damage has already been done and the only thing remaining is to attempt to regain losses.

Your domain name is the core component of your online presence--the address of a piece of online real estate that belongs only to you or your business. Choosing the right domain name and registering it are essential first steps for securing your company's online presence, but they're not the only ones. Defending your brand and protecting your consumers is the second most important step in securing your online presence. Without it, not only do you risk damaging your brand to no return but you also place each of your customers at risk of fraud. Even criminals on the community level can take advantage of brand impersonation and use the Internet to steal from your customers while destroying the reputation of your business.


What is cybersquatting?

The term "cybersquatting" refers to registering, using, or selling a domain name with a bad faith intent to profit from someone else's trademark. It works by cyber criminals buying up domain names similar to your own, then using them to fool your customers into believing the website is part of your company to defraud visitors. It works by cyber criminals buying up domain names similar to your own, publishing them in all major search engines, using social media to promote the spoofed domains, then using them to fool your customers into believing the website is part of your company to defraud visitors.


How sophisticated is cybersquatting?

Cybersquatting can be extremely sophisticated and entails a number of techniques from simple to highly technical. For example, nation-states such as China, India and Russia, each have a vested interest in crushing American confidence in its Ecommerce industry, and have the ability to take cybersquatting to such levels that can fool even the most familiar of employees who know management personally. Please take the time to watch the following video.

What is the most common form of cybersquatting?

Domain spoofing is the most common form of cybersquatting, and the most dangerous to your brand. This is a process where cyber criminals take advantage of confusing domain names and configuration to steal visitors and target customers with fraud. The following video explains this technique and provides an excellent example of how technically involved domain security can be.


Does my business need protection from cybersquatters?

The simple answer is YES! Cybersquatters are siphoning away increasing numbers of users from the Web sites of businesses large and small. Using variations on trademarked names, cybersquatters may lure prospective customers to pornographic Web sites, malware sites, sites hawking counterfeit goods, or pay-per-click advertising sites, some of which lead viewers to competitors' products and services. Others actively spoof business websites to take their customers for all they've got. If you don't defend your online presence, you stand a chance of causing irreversible damage to your business.


How much does domain security management cost?

Protecting your brand and online presence is not cheap. A short-term, one time solution is normally all that is needed for small businesses; however, this is not always true of every domain. For most small business websites, costs will never run over $2,000 in your first year. But for some, costs can easily run into $10,000 or more. At NextGen CGI, our primary focus is to assist small business and startups in their Internet endeavors, and this includes providing up-to-the-minute security solutions at a cost small business can afford.
