About Client
This firm runs mission-critical technology programs for Fortune 500 enterprises across banking, manufacturing, energy, retail, and communications. Its public footprint spans corporate and country sites, large hiring and campus programs, partner and vendor portals, developer docs, event microsites, and a wide social presence. The sheer reach and brand equity make it a recurring target for impersonation and fraud that ride on its name to phish candidates, vendors, and even client stakeholders.
India’s largest e-commerce player operates a nationwide marketplace spanning electronics, fashion, home, grocery, and more. With peak season campaigns, high-velocity flash sales, and a vast third-party seller network, the company runs one of the country’s most visible consumer brands.
That visibility attracts fraudsters who spin up look-alike domains, fake apps, social imposters, and search ads designed to divert payments and harvest customer data, directly impacting trust, support load, and revenue.
Challenges faced
High-frequency impersonation across many surfaces
Fraudsters spun up look-alike domains, fake social handles, counterfeit job posts, and event microsites that spoofed recruitment drives, vendor onboarding, invoice change notices, and “priority IT support” for clients.
Hijacked brand queries
Malicious paid search placements and SEO-poisoned pages occasionally outranked official results for high-intent queries such as careers login, RFP portal, vendor registration, and country helpdesk.
Fragmented takedown processes
Every platform required different evidence, notice formats, and policy hooks. Evidence lived in screenshots and long email threads. Mirrors resurfaced after single URL removals.
Candidate and vendor harm
Scams demanded “processing fees,” KYC documents, or bank details from job seekers and small suppliers. Brand teams and HR faced spikes in complaints with no single place to point people to verified channels.
Board-level visibility
Leadership and risk committees asked for measurable reduction, time-to-takedown, and an evidence archive that could stand up to internal audit and client assurance reviews.
Hunto AI Solution
Objective: remove impersonation infrastructure quickly across domains, social platforms, job boards, ads, and messaging, while producing evidence that legal teams, platforms, and client auditors accept.
Always-on brand monitoring
Look-alike domain hunting using fuzzy match, homograph checks, passive DNS, and page similarity to catch new registrations early
Social, job-board, and messaging sweeps to detect imposter HR profiles, fake listings, and fee-collection sites
Search and ads watchlists to flag malicious paid placements and SEO traps intercepting branded queries around hiring seasons, quarterly results, and event spikes
Agentic takedown execution with evidence
Auto-assembled evidence packs per incident: screenshots, WHOIS and ASN, hosting metadata, time-stamped crawls, link graphs, and platform-policy citations
Platform-native notices to registrars, hosts, social networks, job boards, ad networks, and app stores to raise first-notice acceptance
Post-removal re-scans to map mirrors and connected infrastructure so clusters were suppressed, not just single URLs
Stakeholder safety and communications
A paste-ready Official Channels micro-page listed verified URLs, app IDs, and social handles and explained how to report suspicious content
Short scripts for HR, TA (talent acquisition), Corporate Communications, Legal, and Vendor Management standardized replies, verification steps, and escalation paths
Reporting and governance
Executive dashboard showed detections, median Time to Takedown, first-notice acceptance rate, scam survival time, and directional trust-protection proxies tied to hiring and vendor-portal traffic
Monthly evidence archives packaged all case files for audit and client security questionnaires, with vendor/partner labels when third parties hosted public assets
Impact
“We turned brand abuse from an inbox fire drill into an operating metric. Fraud pages vanish faster, candidates and vendors get clear guidance, and we have a defensible evidence trail.”
