Spoof Dashboard Guide

The Spoof Dashboard is your central command center for monitoring potentially malicious domains that could be impersonating your brand or organization.

Dashboard Overview

When you first log in to Spoofchief, the Spoof Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all potentially suspicious domains that may be impersonating your brand. The dashboard is designed to be intuitive, allowing you to quickly identify and prioritize potential threats.

Active Spoofs Section

The Active Spoofs section displays a list of domains that Spoofchief has identified as potentially impersonating your brand. For each domain, you’ll see:

Domain Name: The full domain name that may be impersonating your brand
Risk Level: A color-coded indicator showing how risky the domain is
Date Detected: When Spoofchief first detected this domain
Status: Whether the domain is currently active or inactive

Why This Matters

Malicious actors often create lookalike domains to trick your customers or employees. These domains might be used for phishing attacks, scams, or brand abuse. The Active Spoofs section helps you stay on top of these threats.

Investigating Domains

The most powerful feature of the Spoof Dashboard is the ability to investigate suspicious domains with a single click.

Single Domain Investigation

To investigate a single domain:

Find the domain in the list
Click the checkbox next to the domain name
Click the “Investigate” button
Spoofchief will analyze the domain and provide detailed results

Batch Investigation

To investigate multiple domains at once:

Select multiple domains by clicking their checkboxes
Click the “Investigate” button
Spoofchief will analyze all selected domains

Credit System

Each investigation uses credits from your account:

One credit is used per domain investigation
The number of remaining credits is displayed at the top of the dashboard
If you need more credits, click the “Add Credits” button

Managing Domain Status

Domains can have different statuses in the dashboard:

Active: The domain is currently live and potentially dangerous
Inactive: The domain is no longer active or has been taken down

When a domain becomes inactive, you’ll receive a notification. This helps you track when threats have been mitigated.

Filtering and Searching

To help you find specific domains:

Use the Search box to find domains by name
Use the Risk Level filter to focus on high, medium, or low-risk domains
Click on column headers to sort the list

Understanding Risk Levels

Spoofchief assigns a risk level to each domain based on multiple factors:

Low Risk (Green): Minimal similarity to your brand or low threat indicators
Moderate Risk (Yellow): Some suspicious elements, but may not be actively malicious
High Risk (Orange): Strong indicators of malicious intent, closely mimics your brand
Critical Risk (Red): Highly dangerous, active threat to your brand and customers

Always prioritize investigating domains with higher risk levels first.
