Counterfeit finally posing as a national security threat for US



The U.S. Department of Homeland Security´s Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans on Friday released a 54-page report to the president on "Combating Trafficking in Counterfeit and Pirated Goods", promising to strengthen scrutiny, enforcement and punishment to tackle what it calls a rising problem in e-commerce.

Desenmascara.me is our online service to help both: consumers and brands against this illicit business plaging Internet. Finally it seems this illicit business will have the attention required.

Immediate Action by DHS and Recommendations for the USG:





Times are turning interesting on this area, let´s see what´s coming with the implementation of these strong actions. Stay tuned.
