Where they are registered

For the 29 with a registrar in WHOIS (73% 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.

Recent examples

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