March Updates: Takedown Automation, Watchlisting & New Reviewing Rules

This month, we’ve introduced several improvements to better protect your brand by enhancing monitoring, reviewing, and takedowns of malicious threats.

Automated Takedowns for Google Sites/Forms, Cloudflare, and IPFS

Our automated takedown system now extends to Google Sites, Google Forms, Cloudflare-hosted pages, and IPFS. Once an asset is blocked, ChainPatrol files a takedown request without any manual steps to the correct domain or hosting provider. This streamlined approach helps remove harmful content faster and minimizes time to remediation.

We’re focused on a goal of reaching 90% automation of takedown operations with <0.1% false positive rate by the end of 2025. We started the year at ~18% automation, and with these and other changes we’ve shipped, we’re now at ~46%. Heading into Q2, you can expect us to continue on this goal with improvements to our liveness checking and detecting cases where human intervention is needed to resolve takedowns faster.

Enhanced Reporting with AI & Confidence Scoring

We’ve introduced a broader range of detection rules to improve accuracy and reduce the need for manual reviews. Offline (“dead”) assets are now placed on a watchlist, so if they come back online, the system automatically reassesses them. We’ve also optimized data handling and infrastructure to speed up threat evaluations and ensure more efficient protection.

New Reviewing Rules

We’ve expanded our automated analysis to catch a wider range of threats, including phishing attempts like seed phrase requests, obfuscated code, and suspicious Twitter accounts. These automated rules lighten the workload for our threat analysts and human reviewers, letting them focus on more complex or high-priority cases.

Refined Threats Page Experience

We refreshed the Threats Page to fix some of the UI/UX paper cuts. We added a skeleton loader and improved error handling with clear instructions and retry options. Page and filter changes also update instantly, giving you a smoother, more responsive way to track and address active threats.

In April, we’ll be hunting down more UI/UX issues and performance bugs to make our dashboards faster to load and easier to use.
