Elastic lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 78 domains that resemble Elastic since February 2026, 33 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (76%) are combosquats: Elastic spelled correctly with a word added, most often “app”, “web”, “online”. No single ending dominates: they are spread over 22, led by .com and .co. The pace has picked up, with 23 in the last 30 days against 2 in the 30 before. 12 certificates for unregistered .ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under that ending, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 25 with a registrar in WHOIS (32% 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 Elastic; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
