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.

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 ExpressVPN; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
