01
IDENTITY / CREDENTIALS
Phishing & impersonation
Brand misuse, credential capture, deceptive login flows and domains used as trust anchors for impersonation.
Domain → journey → collection point Domain Intelligence / Anti-Fraud Operations
We turn abusive domains into actionable intelligence.
We investigate malicious and high-risk domain infrastructure, reproduce the user journey, correlate the systems behind it, preserve decision-grade evidence and prepare recipient-specific reports for the organizations positioned to act.

01 / CAPABILITIES
Domain abuse is an infrastructure problem.
We focus on the domain as an operational control point, then follow the infrastructure, user journey and financial or identity-harvesting flow behind it.
02
FRAUD / PAYMENT
Scam & payment funnels
Multi-step funnels that move users from a domain into external payments, wallet transfers, messaging apps or card collection.
Entry → redirect → transaction03
CLOAKING / ROUTING
Cloaking & redirect chains
Search-dependent destinations, conditional redirects, decoy pages and hidden routes designed to frustrate review.
Trigger → path → destination04
INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure correlation
DNS, hosting, ASN, registrar, registry and related-domain signals connected into a defensible infrastructure picture.
Entity → relationship → pattern05
EVIDENCE
Evidence preservation
Screenshots, request traces, headers, artifacts and timelines organized for review without burying the decision-maker in noise.
Capture → verify → preserve06
ESCALATION
Targeted escalation
Reports routed according to the role of each operator: registrar, registry, hosting provider, CDN, reputation vendor or platform.
Evidence → recipient → action02 / OPERATING METHOD
From signal to a defensible case.
Every investigation is built around the actual user journey, the infrastructure roles involved and the evidence available. The objective is a case another analyst can verify and an operator can act on.
DETECT
Identify the entry point
Establish what the domain does, how a user reaches the abusive flow and which behavior is directly observable.
VERIFY
Reproduce the behavior
Validate the journey across the relevant route, device or region and separate confirmed facts from unverified assumptions.
CORRELATE
Map the infrastructure
Connect DNS, registrar, registry, host, ASN, redirects, payment endpoints and related infrastructure where evidence supports it.
PRESERVE
Package the evidence
Keep originals intact, surface the decisive artifacts and build a concise timeline that another analyst can independently review.
ESCALATE
Route to the right control point
Frame the complaint around the recipient’s actual role and the action they can take, rather than sending the same text everywhere.
TRACK
Maintain the case record
Record responses, dispositions, changes in infrastructure and the evidence required for follow-up or further escalation.
03 / INTELLIGENCE OUTPUT
Built for review. Structured for action.
Each output is structured so abuse desks, trust & safety teams and infrastructure operators can understand the issue quickly and verify it independently.

Registration, DNS, registry, hosting and network context in one place.
What the victim experiences
The decisive path from the public domain to the abusive endpoint.
What proves the case
High-signal artifacts preserved with enough context to reproduce the findings.
Who can act
A role-aware route across registrar, registry, hosting, CDN and relevant vendors.
04 / STANDARDS
Serious claims require serious evidence.
Facts before conclusions
We distinguish what is directly observed, what is correlated and what remains unconfirmed.
Original evidence preserved
Artifacts stay intact. Presentation improves readability without rewriting the underlying evidence.
Recipient-specific reporting
The complaint explains why the recipient is relevant, what evidence supports the report and what action is requested.
No inflated attribution
Infrastructure relationships are reported at the confidence level the evidence supports.
05 / SOURCES & RESPONSE ECOSYSTEM
We do not investigate in a vacuum.
Reputation, threat-intelligence, policy and incident-response resources can provide leads, corroboration and routing context. None replaces direct evidence or independent interpretation.
Spamhaus
Reputation and blocklist context can help identify leads. A listing is a signal to investigate, not a substitute for direct evidence.
Official website ↗VirusTotal
URL, domain and file analysis can support cross-checking. Private evidence must not be uploaded to public scanning services.
Official website ↗Cisco Talos
Reputation information and threat research provide infrastructure context. Findings require independent interpretation.
Official website ↗PhishTank
Submitted and verified phishing records can provide leads and corroboration; timing and current site behavior still matter.
Official website ↗ICANN
Registration policy, lookup resources and applicable complaint routes help identify responsibilities in the domain ecosystem.
Official website ↗Domain Patrol
A reference for cooperation between competent organizations and registrars in the Russian domain space. No membership is claimed.
Official website ↗CERT / CSIRT
Relevant incident response teams may receive reports within their remit. The FIRST directory helps identify published team contacts.
Official website ↗Infrastructure providers
Registrars, registries, hosting and DNS/CDN providers receive evidence relevant to the service they control. Registration data can help locate the correct party.

06 / ABOUT ABUSE PARTNERS
Domain intelligence built for organizations that have to make decisions.
Abuse Partners is an independent Domain Intelligence & Anti-Fraud team focused on malicious, deceptive and high-risk domain infrastructure. We work at the point where domain registration, DNS, hosting, redirects, user journeys, payment flows and abuse-response processes intersect.
Our reports are designed to be technically legible to registrars, registries, hosting providers, DNS/CDN operators, security vendors, CERT/CSIRT teams, trust & safety functions and other responsible recipients. We separate confirmed observation from correlation and attribution so the decisive evidence remains clear.
