Citizen Hawk is an online brand management solutions provider that helps companies protect their online brands by targeting cybersquatters. Citizen Hawk continually monitors the web to expose the typosquatters and cyberscammers affecting their clients' business. They shutdown and recover these fraudulent domains for their clients.[1]

History

Citizen Hawk was founded in 2006 and is based in Aliso Viejo, California.

In 2008, Citizen Hawk has received a funding of $3Million from Maveron LLC.[2]

Business Model

Citizen Hawk has an innovative business model. It files a complaint with the ICANN on the cybersquatter on behalf of it's client and pays the complaint filing fees upfront. After the domain is recovered, it charges a commission on the ad revenue of these domains.[3]

Citizen Hawk is a part of the LinkShare affiliate network[4] and Hydra.[5]
