Bolster AI has introduced Fraudulent Ads Monitoring & Takedowns, a new capability designed to help organizations detect and remove fraudulent advertisements that impersonate trusted brands and redirect consumers to phishing sites, fake online stores, and other malicious destinations.
The solution expands Bolster AI’s brand security platform by enabling organizations to identify brand impersonation across paid search and social media advertising. Security teams can investigate the infrastructure behind fraudulent campaigns, submit takedown requests, and continuously monitor for recurring threats.
The launch addresses a growing cybersecurity challenge as attackers increasingly use paid advertisements to intercept customers before they reach legitimate websites. By purchasing branded keywords and creating deceptive sponsored ads, cybercriminals can divert high-intent users to fraudulent websites that steal credentials, payment information, and other sensitive data.
Bolster AI’s new capability integrates with its broader external threat protection platform, allowing organizations to connect fraudulent ads with related phishing websites, fake storefronts, malicious domains, and social media impersonation campaigns. This provides security teams with greater visibility into coordinated fraud operations rather than isolated attacks.
According to the company, the increasing use of AI by cybercriminals to create convincing fake identities and launch large-scale fraud campaigns makes proactive monitoring essential. By detecting and disrupting fraudulent advertising early in the customer journey, Bolster AI aims to help organizations protect customer trust, reduce brand abuse, and strengthen defenses against evolving online threats.
