Piracy
Disrupt Digital Piracy at Scale
Digital piracy involves the unauthorised distribution, streaming, or sharing of copyrighted content across websites, torrent platforms, file sharing services, and social channels. For media companies, content owners, and digital platforms, piracy directly impacts revenue, licensing value, and contractual obligations, while also exposing customers to malware, scams, and unsafe content.
Piracy ecosystems are highly adaptive. Content is rapidly mirrored, re uploaded, and redistributed across multiple platforms to avoid detection and takedown. Effective disruption requires continuous monitoring and coordinated enforcement at scale.
unphish helps organisations identify and disrupt piracy activity by combining advanced detection techniques with integrated enforcement workflows.Common Channels Used for Digital Piracy
Online piracy operates across many digital platforms where copyrighted content is illegally distributed, streamed, or shared to large audiences
Illegal Streaming Platforms
Websites and embedded video players that provide unauthorised streaming of movies, TV shows, sports events, or premium digital content.
Torrent & Peer-to-Peer Networks
Decentralised sharing networks that allow users to upload and download pirated files directly between devices.
File Hosting & Download Sites
Cloud storage and file hosting services used to store pirated media and distribute it through public download links.
Social Media & Content Sharing Channels
Pages, groups, and channels on social platforms used to promote, share, or redirect users to pirated content sources.

Why Customers Choose unphish
| unphish | Fragmented / Reactive Approach | |
| Threat Visibility | Continuous monitoring across domains, hosting, social platforms, and attacker infrastructure. | Limited visibility based on complaints or isolated alerts. |
| Detection Speed | Automated detection and risk scoring identify threats early. | Threats are discovered late, often after impact. |
| Infrastructure Insight | Deep analysis reveals campaign links, infrastructure reuse, and attacker patterns. | Little or no visibility into shared infrastructure or repeat activity. |
| Enforcement Execution | Coordinated workflows enable faster, consistent takedown across platforms. | Manual submissions slow down response and create inconsistent outcomes. |
| Verification & Control | Automated validation confirms removal and tracks reappearance. | No structured verification or monitoring after takedown. |
| Operational Visibility | Unified dashboards provide clear status, timelines, and reporting. | Siloed tools limit visibility and create operational gaps. |
