Feb. 20, 2024

This document presents a case study summarizing the entire process of taking down two phishing sites. It represents a successful project under our phishing site takedown service.

A client company, a domestic financial institution with a capital of several billion yen (approximately tens of millions to hundreds of millions of USD), became the target of a phishing scam involving two phishing sites, resulting in customer information leaks and brand damage. Due to the urgent need to take down these phishing sites, the client sought our services, and we successfully rendered these phishing sites "permanently inaccessible."

Through this case study, readers will learn about the tactics of phishing scams, specific methodologies, the "worldview" behind them, the effectiveness of our services and ROI (over 1034%), the entire takedown process, and the outcomes. Furthermore, it offers insights into protecting oneself against phishing scams.
