PhishDom was created to try and help charities and small business but as with so many things, we’ve had to shut it down because while it helped a lot of organisations, there were constant false registrations, bogus accounts and hacking attempts, and unfortunately as a volunteer run service, we simple couldn’t continue.

To everyone that supported us and for all the kind words, thank you!

We’ll back with in another guise with some other ideas we have to help the world stay secure in the very near future!

Watch this space and for now, so long and thanks for all the phish . . . (queue music)

PhishDom was a free simple tool – still in beta –  to help charities and small businesses with the risks that come with having a domain name (and using it for a website and email).

To setup monitoring and alerting for your domain, all you needed was a free account and to complete one mandatory form field: your domain name.

Typically within 60 seconds, PhishDom would have generated anywhere from 15,000 to 200,000 variants of your domain name, discovered all of your critical DNS records and taken note of your SSL certificate and website.

You could immediately add users, perform phishing simulations and monitor the responses.  Users that were successfully ‘phished’ were given a training video to watch and asked to complete an assessment.

Within the first hour of setup, your domain variants had been probed, assessed and reported on – scoring any potential copycat domain names.

After that, PhishDom continually monitored your domain name, website, DNS and potential copycats and alerts you when needed.
