AliExpress lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 200 domains that resemble AliExpress since February 2026, 12 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (84%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 92% of them, out of 13 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 6 in the last 30 days against 2 in the 30 before. The busiest week began 27 April 2026, with 11 new ones. 129 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under those endings, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 177 with a registrar in WHOIS (89% of all). Brand-protection registrars mostly hold defensive registrations made by brands themselves, so a domain there is more likely the brand's own than an imitation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Dynadot | 31 | 17.5% | Retail |
| Key-Systems | 25 | 14.1% | Retail |
