Fortress IP
Fortress IP is an enterprise brand protection consultancy managing trademark portfolios and anti-counterfeiting operations for Fortune 500 clients. The firm provides strategic IP enforcement across digital and physical marketplaces.
Fortress IP's own brand is impersonated by fraudulent consultancies that solicit payments from businesses under the guise of trademark protection services. Phishing campaigns targeting their corporate clients also attempt to harvest sensitive IP portfolio data.
Client Data Phishing Campaign Neutralization
A sophisticated spear-phishing campaign targeted Fortress IP's corporate clients with emails impersonating the firm, requesting sensitive trademark portfolio documents. EzlaScan traced the campaign to 34 phishing domains and coordinated rapid takedowns with registrars and email security providers.
Fraudulent Brand Protection Service Impersonation
Scammers created 12 websites impersonating Fortress IP's brand and services, soliciting payments from small businesses for fake trademark protection services. EzlaScan identified the operation, coordinated domain seizures with registrars, and filed fraud complaints with relevant authorities.
