Endings

The 5 most used of the 5 top-level domains these lookalikes sit under.

Where they are registered

For the 56 with a registrar in WHOIS (84% 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.

What the live ones do

13 of these lookalikes were registered and checked for a website and mail: 7 (54%) served a website and 13 (100%) publish MX records, so they can receive email. Checks run on the higher-severity matches that resolve, not on every lookalike.

Google Web Risk lists none of the 6 live ones checked against it.

7 were tracked while live and 0 have since gone down. See what to do about a lookalike.

Recent examples
