We talk to a lot of clients about them purchasing additional domain names. For example the Second National Bank of Texas should try to buy MANY domains, such as
SecondNationalBankofTexas.com, .net, .org, .bank, .mobi, etc.
SecondNationalBankofTX.com, .net, .org, .bank, .mobi, etc.
2ndNationalBankofTexas.com, .net, .org, .bank, .mobi, etc.
2ndNationalBankofTX.com, .net, .org, .bank, .mobi, etc.
2ndNBofTX.com, .net, .org, .bank, .mobi, etc.
We’ve seen bad guys buy similar domains or domains the Financial Institution wants and try to sell it back for thousands of dollars.
We’ve also seen phishing sites posted made to look exactly like bank’s to phish customer credentials.
Finally, we’ve seen high profile preachers can’t even escape a fiesty April Fools joke.
