Profile Defender

Know Instantly When Something's Wrong

Profile hijacking is a real and growing problem: bad actors upload tracks under your artist name, redirecting streams and royalties to themselves, sometimes merging your page into theirs. Profile Defender continuously watches your profiles on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms and alerts you the moment something looks off. You catch the attack in hours, not when a fan finally tells you.

Protect the Streams and Royalties You Earned

Every fraudulent release under your name is a stream that should have been yours and a royalty being paid to someone else. Worse, a hijacker can split your audience across a fake profile and stall your real momentum. Early detection means you can dispute and remove the fake before it does lasting damage to your numbers and your standing with the algorithm.

Stop royalties from leaking to imposters. Prevent your audience from being split or misdirected. Act before fraudulent releases gain traction
