Pinterest lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 125 domains that resemble Pinterest since February 2026, 12 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (84%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 92% of them, out of 11 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 8 in the last 30 days against 2 in the 30 before. 86 certificates for unregistered .com.ph, .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 114 with a registrar in WHOIS (91% 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting Concepts | 20 | 17.5% | Retail |
| GoDaddy | 17 | 14.9% | Retail |
