MetLife lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 47 domains that resemble MetLife since February 2026, 7 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (68%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 81% of them, out of 8 endings in all. 9 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.ph, .net.ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under those endings, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 35 with a registrar in WHOIS (74% 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 7 | 20.0% | Retail |
| Above.com | 4 | 11.4% | Retail |
