Types of Brand Misappropriation

Brandjacking
A type of impersonation that includes the counterfeiting of a company’s logo, style, naming, website, and social media accounts, mostly in order to conduct massive fraud campaigns such as phishing or fake online stores
Intellectual Property Theft
The misappropriation of sensitive corporate information such as product secrets, visual identities, or technological maps to create copycat items that dilute the market
Counterfeit Distribution
The distribution of goods with misappropriated corporate identities, including factors such as design language, logo, or materials
Smearing
The active dissemination of false allegations against a company in order to damage its brand reputation in a grassroots manner

Common Challenges
New threats can emerge at any time, and the greater the delay in countering these cases, the more costly they are. By the time a campaign has registered as negative sentiment, a lot of reputational damage has already happened.
A large proportion of distributed counterfeits and intellectual property trade takes place through hidden channels on the Dark Web
Malicious campaigns are often carried out on social media. This means that once a malicious outlet is identified and shut down, clone accounts can be readily created and these activities relaunched.
While malicious outlets such as social media profiles can be identified, the real-world actor behind the campaigns often remains hidden in anonymity
