Other
-
Online Scam Investigation
-
Phishing Attack Protect your customers from phishing attacks using your brand
Phishing campaigns that use your brand's name try to steal customers' logins and payment details.
We trace the campaign's pages and, where possible, where the stolen data is sent, and file abuse reports with the hosts and registrars involved.
Hosts and registrars decide on suspension. Every report's status is in your dashboard.
-
Harassment and Threatening Address harmful activities affecting your brand and customer safety
Online harassment and threats against you, your staff or your customers can escalate into real-world danger.
We document the messages and accounts involved, report them to the platforms, and prepare the evidence for a police complaint.
Identifying an anonymous sender usually needs a police request or a court order to the platform; we help you prepare for either.
-
Transaction Recovery Support recovery of losses from fraudulent customer transactions
After a scam, speed matters: in India, report the fraud to your bank and to the 1930 cybercrime helpline as soon as possible.
We help trace where the money went, whether by bank transfer, UPI, card or cryptocurrency, and prepare the reports that banks, payment providers and insurers ask for.
Recovery isn't guaranteed; it depends on the banks and authorities involved.
-
Local Authority Coordination Coordinate with authorities to act against fraudulent activities
Cybercrime cases are complex, and investigators need well-organised evidence to act on them.
We prepare complaint packs for cybercrime units (in India via cybercrime.gov.in or the 1930 helpline) and track progress. Outcomes rest with the authorities.
Where a case crosses borders, we help you reach the reporting channels in the other countries involved.
-
Litigation Escalation Enable legal action against severe fraud and scam cases
For serious frauds, civil or criminal proceedings may follow, and they depend on sound technical evidence.
We prepare the evidence pack for your counsel and help explain the technical side of the fraud. On request, we document how evidence was collected, for use by your counsel.
Legal action itself is run by independent counsel, with fees quoted per matter.
-
Registering Complaint Assist in filing complaints with relevant authorities efficiently
Official reporting portals can be confusing, and a complaint that misses technical details is harder to act on.
We help you file through national portals such as India's cybercrime.gov.in (helpline 1930) or the US IC3, with the URLs, IP addresses, email headers and transaction IDs correctly recorded.
A registered complaint creates an official record of the incident, which banks, platforms and courts may later ask for.
-
-
Plagiarism
-
Article Protection Protect your written content from unauthorized copying and misuse
Your articles take research and effort. Sites that copy them, or rewrite them with AI, take traffic and credit that belong to you.
We look for exact copies and close rewrites of your articles, and gather evidence of original authorship, such as publication dates.
For the copies you confirm, we send takedown requests to the hosts of the copying sites and ask search engines to remove them from their results.
-
Plagiarism Tracking Stay aware of copied content across digital platforms
Scraper sites often republish content automatically from RSS feeds and sitemaps.
We track which sites copy your content and how, so your web team can rate-limit or block the scrapers on your own servers.
Copies already published are handled with takedown notices to their hosts.
-
-
Mitigation Product Add-Ons
-
Litigation Strengthen legal actions with structured support and documentation
Optional legal escalation through independent, qualified counsel, for example cease-and-desist notices and suits against unknown infringers, with fees billed separately.
Bytescare is not a law firm. We prepare the evidence and coordinate with counsel, who advise you and act on your instructions.
Fees are quoted per matter before any work begins.
-
Investigation Reports Detailed reports providing insights into threats and infringements
An investigation report gives a detailed account of a specific incident or recurring threat: what happened, where, how, and who is behind it as far as the evidence shows.
Reports are prepared by analysts, not exported automatically, for board briefings, insurance claims or internal audits.
Each report summarises the actions taken and the estimated exposure, with the method stated.
-
Revenue/Traction Loss Estimate Understand business impact caused by piracy and brand misuse
Putting a number on the harm done by piracy or counterfeits helps you decide where enforcement matters most.
Our analysts estimate lost revenue from infringement and market data, with the method and assumptions stated.
Use the estimate to prioritise titles, brands or markets and to make the case for budget.
-
Trademark Registration Secure your brand identity through official trademark registration
A registered trademark is the strongest basis for brand enforcement, and many platforms' complaint processes and rights-owner programmes ask for one.
Through independent trademark attorneys, we help with searches, filing and follow-ups in the jurisdictions you need.
Registration strengthens your position in takedowns, platform programmes and disputes.
-
Dedicated Team Access a dedicated team focused on your brand protection
For brands with high exposure, a dedicated team of analysts and investigators works as an extension of your own.
A named team learns your risk profile and prioritises the threats that matter most.
They handle day-to-day monitoring and reporting, coordinate investigations, and work with independent counsel when legal steps are needed.
-
Consultancy and Audits Expert guidance to strengthen your digital risk and compliance
A review of how exposed your brand is: how easily someone could impersonate your executives, leak your content or sell fakes of your products.
You receive a prioritised list of improvements, from technical fixes to policy changes. Any active testing of your systems happens only under a separate written authorisation.
Regular reviews keep your protection in step with how threats change.
-
Retraction and Error Correction Escalations Request corrections of misleading information from publishers
When a news outlet or influential blog gets a fact about your company wrong, the error can spread quickly.
We prepare a documented correction request and escalate it to the right editorial or legal contact.
Each request sets out the error, the evidence and the correction sought, so editors can check it quickly.
-
Online Abuse and Threat Database Centralized system to track and manage abuse incidents
Patterns emerge over time. The threat database archives and tags every incident of abuse or infringement in one place.
Its history helps identify repeat offenders and coordinated groups, for example when a new phishing site uses the same infrastructure as an earlier scam.
Your monitoring can then focus on the patterns and actors that have caused the most trouble before.

Mitigation Legal Add-Ons
-
Criminal Complaints & Law Enforcement Reporting Prepare police and cybercrime complaints against offenders
We prepare complaint packs for cybercrime units (in India via cybercrime.gov.in or the 1930 helpline) and track progress. Outcomes rest with the authorities.
Where a complaint needs a lawyer to draft or file it, independent counsel handles it, with fees quoted per matter.
-
Cease & Desist Notices Formal legal notices asking infringers to stop
Independent counsel drafts and sends cease-and-desist notices on your instructions, setting out the infringement, the evidence and the legal consequences.
A notice is often the first step towards a settlement before any court case. We supply the evidence; fees are quoted per matter.
-
Injunctive Relief & Court Orders Court orders to stop ongoing infringement, through independent counsel
Independent counsel can apply for injunctions that stop infringing activity while a case continues, including dynamic injunctions that extend to mirror sites and takedown directions to platforms. The court decides.
We provide the evidence for the application and check compliance afterwards; fees are quoted per matter.
-
Retraction & Defamation Suits Defamation and retraction suits, through independent counsel
When a publisher won't correct or remove false, defamatory content voluntarily, independent counsel can file defamation or retraction suits; we supply the evidence pack, with dated captures of each statement.
Fees are quoted per matter and billed separately.
-
Personality Rights Litigation Court action against unauthorised commercial use of your identity
Independent counsel can take legal action against unauthorised use of your name, image, voice or likeness, including viral deepfakes and anonymous operators, and seek injunctions, targeted takedowns and damages.
We supply the evidence and monitor compliance; fees are quoted per matter.
-
Trademark Registration & Prosecution Register and maintain your trademarks, through independent attorneys
Through independent trademark attorneys, we coordinate availability searches, filing, examination replies and follow-ups in the jurisdictions you need.
Registration strengthens your position in takedowns, platform programmes and disputes. Fees are quoted per matter.
-
Revenue & Damages Recovery Claims for losses caused by infringement, piracy or fraud
Independent counsel can pursue compensation and damages for commercial IP theft, piracy or misuse, and we build the supporting data, such as infringement volumes and estimated losses, with the method stated.
Recovery depends on the court and the defendant, and fees are quoted per matter.
-
Physical Raids & Enforcement Actions On-ground action against counterfeit operations, through the police or the courts
Raids on counterfeit and infringing operations are carried out by the police on a complaint, or by a court-appointed local commissioner in a civil case.
We coordinate the intelligence gathering, evidence and on-ground logistics with independent counsel. Fees are quoted per matter.
-
Legal Strategy Sessions with Independent Counsel Strategy sessions with independent IP counsel
Strategy sessions with independent IP counsel, arranged by us.
