Find the accounts pretending to be you.
We check six social networks for fake accounts using your brand name, watch for your executives' names, and look for copycat apps. You see why each one was flagged.
Fake accounts on six networks.
Attackers don't need to touch your systems to damage your brand. A convincing handle is often enough. We check these networks for accounts that imitate yours.
- X
- TikTok
- GitHub
- YouTube

Find your accounts
We discover your real brand accounts from your company website. Anything on that list is set aside and never flagged.

Check the handles
On each network we look for accounts at the handles an impersonator would likely register for your brand name, and flag the ones that aren't yours.

Report it
Each flagged account comes with the handle, platform, profile link, when we found it and why it was flagged, ready to attach to a platform report.

Check the handles
On each network we look for accounts at the handles an impersonator would likely register for your brand name, and flag the ones that aren't yours.
Report it
Each flagged account comes with the handle, platform, profile link, when we found it and why it was flagged, ready to attach to a platform report.
We check handles only. There is no photo, bio or follower analysis, so a flag is a likelihood and you decide what to act on.
Your executives, by name.
Register an executive once, with their official handles. We check for accounts at handles built from their name.
- Five networks. X, Instagram, TikTok, GitHub and YouTube.
- Official handles excluded. Anything an executive actually owns is set aside.
- Fully deterministic. No photo or biometric data is collected or compared.
- You make the call. A flag means an account exists at a name-based handle. It could be a namesake, so we show it to you rather than calling it fake.
Copycat apps on the Apple App Store.
We look for apps using your name on the Apple App Store. Your own apps and developer account are recognised and set aside.
- Apple App Store only. Google Play and other stores are not covered.
- Your apps are set aside. Official apps and your developer account aren't flagged.
- No icon matching. We don't compare icons or images today.
Misuse of your name, in one view.
The trademark view gathers what the other monitors find into one place, and you can register your marks. It adds no new detection source.
- Built from the monitors you already have. Lookalike domains, social accounts and apps, side by side.
- Your marks on file. Register the names and marks you want read against.
- Not a separate scan. No image matching, marketplaces or trademark-office watches.
