Macys lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 136 domains that resemble Macys since February 2026, 81 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (85%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 93% of them, out of 6 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 79 in the last 30 days against 2 in the 30 before. The busiest week began 14 September 2026, with 34 new ones. 3 certificates for unregistered .net.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 128 with a registrar in WHOIS (94% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corsearch | 75 | 58.6% | Brand protection |
| GoDaddy | 19 | 14.8% | Retail |
| Above.com | 7 | 5.5% | Retail |
| Media Elite Holdings | 3 | 2.3% | Retail |
