Stillhook Labs

Our Story

Built by people who got tired of watching scams win

How Stillhook Labs started, and why we do security the way we do.

It started with the scams

Most people never see the fake courier SMS, the cloned checkout page, or the "verify your account" link until someone they know has already lost money to it. We kept seeing them. Real businesses were having their names, logos, and customers' trust used against them, and often they had no idea it was happening.

Getting those sites offline turned out to be less about luck and more about doing the legwork properly: working through the scam the way a victim would, tracing the operation behind it, and building a case that the right people would actually act on. So we started doing exactly that.

Then we looked at the other side

Scammers go after a brand's customers. Attackers go after its systems. The same curiosity that pulls apart a phishing kit is what finds a broken login flow or an API that hands out other users' data.

Automated scanners catch the obvious things. The costly problems usually sit in business logic and access control, where a person has to think like an attacker to find them. That's the kind of testing we wanted to offer.

Independent on purpose

Early on we made one decision that shapes everything else: we test, we don't fix. A firm that finds your bugs and then bills you to repair them has a reason to find more. Keeping those separate means our only job is to tell you the truth about where you stand.

It's also why every engagement starts with a signed scope, why we do all the work ourselves instead of subcontracting it, and why you speak directly to the people who did the testing.

Where we are now

Stillhook Labs is young, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise. We've taken down 98 scam sites so far, and we're offering our services free during launch so that businesses can judge our work on real results instead of a sales pitch.

If you work with us now, you won't just be another client in a queue. You'll be helping shape how we work, and you'll have our full attention while you do.
