Rockstar lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 109 domains that resemble Rockstar since February 2026, 24 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (61%) are combosquats: Rockstar spelled correctly with a word added, most often “online”, “app”, “web”. .com carries 73% of them, out of 20 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 13 in the last 30 days against 4 in the 30 before. 5 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.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.

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