Where they are registered
For the 70 with a registrar in WHOIS (80% 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 | 18 | 25.7% | Retail |
| NameBright | 8 | 11.4% | Retail |

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