Government Impersonation Is Now a Top Five Fraud Category

Criminals impersonate government agencies because it works. They clone license renewal pages, register lookalike toll payment domains, and open fake agency accounts, then drive citizens to them with text messages that carry the weight of your seal. A public advisory tells people the site is fake, but it doesn’t take the site down. Cybersecurity solutions for government have to reach past the agency perimeter to find that infrastructure and remove it, and ZeroFox does both for federal, state, and local government agencies.

ZeroFox Public Sector Protection

Government agencies defend a threat surface they do not own and cannot patch. These are the domains, social platforms, data broker sites, and criminal forums where impersonation and targeting take shape. ZeroFox monitors that surface continuously, confirms the threat, and removes it.

Detect typosquats, cloned agency pages, and fake payment portals at registration, and mitigate live phishing URLs in about 10 minutes.
Find and remove fake profiles impersonating elected officials, agency leadership, and staff, including AI-generated likenesses used in scams.
Scrub home addresses, phone numbers, and family details from data broker sites, then keep re-checking, because brokers republish what they remove.
Monitor closed criminal forums and stealer logs for agency credentials, session tokens, and leaked records before adversaries put them to use.
Deliver analyst-validated alerts for threats near facilities, public events, and official travel routes, with geospatial and geopolitical context.
Detect synthetic images of officials, plus coordinated campaigns that impersonate agency communications to mislead the public.

Frequently asked questions

Public sector cybersecurity is the practice of protecting government agencies, their personnel, and the people they serve from digital threats. Federal, state, and local agencies run the usual internal defenses on networks, endpoints, and email. The harder problem sits outside the perimeter, on infrastructure the agency does not control: spoofed agency websites, fake official accounts, employee credentials traded on criminal forums, and personal data sold by brokers. Defending against those threats requires continuous visibility into the public and criminal internet, plus the ability to remove what you find.
Government agencies hold sensitive records, move public funds, and carry the authority that makes impersonation profitable. When criminals clone an agency payment portal, the victim is usually a resident, and the damage to public trust lands on the agency. According to the FBI’s 2025 IC3 report, government impersonation complaints rose 88% year over year to roughly 32,500 in 2025, with $797.9 million in reported losses, making it one of the top five cyber-enabled fraud categories in the country. Agencies are also accountable in a way private companies are not, so being able to show what was found and what was removed matters as much as the removal itself.
Effective external defense runs as a continuous loop rather than a periodic scan. ZeroFox structures that loop as Discover, Validate, Disrupt. Discovery monitors domains, social platforms, app stores, data broker sites, and closed criminal forums for anything referencing your agency, officials, or programs. Validation combines AI detection with analyst review so confirmed threats reach your team and noise does not. Disruption routes validated findings to registrars, hosts, platforms, and telecom partners for removal, then keeps monitoring so the same threat does not resurface.
For external threats, look past vendors that only send alerts. The strongest platforms detect spoofed domains and fake accounts at registration, reach the closed forums where stolen credentials change hands, and can take threats off the internet rather than adding them to a report. Ask about takedown acceptance rates, mitigation speed, whether brand, domain, executive, and physical protection are core capabilities or add-ons, and whether the vendor can produce an auditable record of every action taken. Most government security tools are built to defend the network. Fewer are built to remove threats from the internet outside it.
ZeroFox finds impersonating infrastructure as it is built, then removes it. Automated detection flags typosquatted domains, cloned agency pages, and rogue mobile apps at publish, while DarkOps specialists monitor invite-only criminal forums for credentials and targeting activity tied to your agency and its leadership. Confirmed threats route through the ZeroFox Global Disruption Network of more than 80 partners spanning internet service providers, registrars, hosting companies, and social platforms, with a 95%+ takedown acceptance rate and most phishing URLs mitigated in about 10 minutes.
