What is brand impersonation?
Brand impersonation occurs when attackers mimic the visual identity, tone, and style of a known organization to gain trust.
They copy logos, colors, layouts, and phrasing to deceive recipients.
It is a counterfeit merchant ship made to resemble a trusted trader. DMARC and visual trust indicators like BIMI help defend against this. BIMI allows verified logos to appear in the inbox once a sender enforces a strict DMARC policy.
