ExpressVPN lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 167 domains that resemble ExpressVPN since February 2026, 7 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (88%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 95% of them, out of 4 endings in all. The busiest week began 20 April 2026, with 63 new ones. 2 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 158 with a registrar in WHOIS (95% 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.

| Danesco Trading | 121 | 76.6% | Retail |
| Gname | 5 | 3.2% | Retail |
