Our Commitment to Clean Business: How We Are Combating Platform Abuse
Published: September 29, 2025
Recently, our product has been mentioned in several reports by cybersecurity researchers in the context of malicious actor activity. We want to be unequivocally clear: we condemn all illegal activity and have a zero-tolerance policy for the misuse of our software.
Our platform was designed to empower businesses with precision, flexibility, and scale. Unfortunately, the very qualities that make it so effective for legitimate users can also attract the attention of those who try to misuse it. We acknowledge this challenge and are already taking all possible measures to proactively combat it.
Remaining silent is not an option. That is why we are undertaking a fundamental transformation to ensure our product remains trusted, transparent, and used only for its intended purpose.
Our approach is guided by three principles:
A New Standard of User Verification
We are taking the user verification process to the next level. What was once a baseline check is evolving into a comprehensive, multi-layered standard. Our goal is to build a deeper understanding of who our customers are and what legitimate business goals they are pursuing. This ensures a transparent and accountable user base for a secure ecosystem.
Enhancing Financial Integrity
We are strengthening our payment security checks to ensure the integrity of every transaction. This includes implementing stricter, multi-tiered filtering, and elimination of possibility for payment methods that we see as high-risk, as well as ensuring a clear, auditable trail for all payments.
Sharpening Our Development Focus
We are changing direction in our software development efforts from being the ultimate all-in-one online advertisement platform to exclusively serving the needs of confirmed businesses, and registered professionals. This involves refining our product’s features and access rules to ensure our most powerful capabilities are in the hands of verified, responsible companies who share our commitment to ethical marketing.
We recognize that these new measures may introduce more friction for all of our users. But this is a necessary step to protect the integrity of our platform and to set an example of responsibility in our industry.
We encourage all users and cybersecurity researchers to report any suspected violations of our Terms of Use to report-abuse@keitaro.io
Your input is invaluable in helping us keep the platform secure for all legitimate businesses.
Sincerely,
Artur Sabirov
CEO, Apliteni
