Orange lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 443 domains that resemble Orange since February 2026, 144 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (75%) are combosquats: Orange spelled correctly with a word added, most often “app”, “service”, “web”. .com carries 44% of them, out of 76 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 107 in the last 30 days against 7 in the 30 before. The busiest week began 5 October 2026, with 39 new ones. 97 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.ph, .org.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 233 with a registrar in WHOIS (53% 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 | 44 | 18.9% | Retail |
| NameBright | 22 | 9.4% | Retail |
