PlayStation lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 146 domains that resemble PlayStation since February 2026, 14 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (64%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 77% of them, out of 17 endings in all. 30 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 111 with a registrar in WHOIS (76% 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 | 14 | 12.6% | Retail |
| Media Elite Holdings | 14 | 12.6% | Retail |
| Above.com | 13 | 11.7% | Retail |
