Web ‘brandjacking’ scams on the rise
Scammers hijacking corporate brands for online profit are ramping up their efforts, a new report has said. Dubbed “brandjacking” by MarkMonitor, a San Francisco brand protection service provider, the practice is becoming a major threat to household names. “Not only is the volume of these abuses significant, but abusers are becoming alarmingly savvy marketers,” said Frederick Felman, MarkMonitor’s chief marketing officer. In its first Brandjacking Index report, MarkMonitor tracked 25 of the top 100 brands for three weeks by monitoring illegal or unethical tactics that ranged from cybersquatting to pay-per-click fraud. Media companies made up the greatest percentage of targeted brands, said MarkMonitor, which pegged media’s slice of brandjacking at 31 percent.
