Domain Theft Guard
24/7 automated security monitoring that protects your domains from theft and unauthorized changes.
Bulletproof Domain Protection
Domain theft costs businesses millions annually. Our enterprise-grade monitoring catches every change instantly, with intelligent baselines that prevent false alerts.
Why Domain Theft Happens
Transfer Lock Disabled
Attackers trick support into disabling transfer protection. Once unlocked, they can transfer your domain to their registrar instantly.
Email Compromise
Hackers gain access to your email and pose as you to request domain transfers. Without verification, registrars often comply.
Social Engineering
Attackers impersonate you or your company to registrar support, convincing them to make unauthorized changes to your domain settings.

What to Do When You Receive an Alert

Investigating Suspicious Changes
- Check domain access logs - See who logged into your registrar account
