Where they are registered
For the 85 with a registrar in WHOIS (69% 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.
| Registrar | Lookalikes | Share | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 18 | 21.2% | Retail |
| Alibaba Cloud | 6 | 7.1% | Retail |
| NameBright | 6 | 7.1% | Retail |
| Cloudflare | 5 | 5.9% | Retail |
| Dynadot | 4 | 4.7% | Retail |
| Namecheap | 4 | 4.7% | Retail |
| Network Solutions | 3 | 3.5% | Retail |
| Squarespace | 3 | 3.5% | Retail |
What the live ones do
18 of these lookalikes were registered and checked for a website and mail: 9 (50%) served a website and 11 (61%) 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 3 live ones checked against it.
3 were tracked while live and 0 have since gone down. See what to do about a lookalike.

Greyphish is not affiliated with Docker. Domains listed resemble Docker 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.
