Cloudflare lookalike domains

Greyphish has recorded 242 domains that resemble Cloudflare since February 2026, 33 of them in the last 90 days. They split between typosquats (49%) and combosquats (37%). .com carries 83% of them, out of 23 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 20 in the last 30 days against 3 in the 30 before. The busiest week began 18 May 2026, with 12 new ones. 29 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.ph, .org.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 209 with a registrar in WHOIS (86% 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.

Recent examples

The 10 most recent, written with [.] so they cannot be clicked. The brand's own domains and registrations held by brand-protection registrars are left out. A lookalike resembles Cloudflare; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.

All brands with a page

Greyphish is not affiliated with Cloudflare. Domains listed resemble Cloudflare by spelling; registration alone says nothing about intent. Counts cover domains first seen in public Certificate Transparency logs and ICANN zone files; domains that Greyphish customers watch are excluded.
