Webinar | Unveiling Online Counterfeit Threats with Maltego Link Analysis
Prioritizing brand protection has never been more critical, with intellectual property and the sale of counterfeit goods emerging as the top risks. In fact, counterfeit items constitute nearly 5% of all imports into the EU. These products not only jeopardize a brand’s reputation but can also lead to significant revenue losses, IP rights violations, and potential consumer dissatisfaction due to their inferior quality.
Investigating digital and offline resellers to tackle unauthorized sales is no easy task. Illicit sellers constantly adapt their tactics and often blend in seamlessly on popular e-commerce and social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. They market counterfeits side by side with legitimate businesses online, making the task of identification and intervention even more challenging.
