Snowflake lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 62 domains that resemble Snowflake since February 2026, 18 of them in the last 90 days. They split between typosquats (52%) and combosquats (44%). .com carries 74% of them, out of 13 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 8 in the last 30 days against 6 in the 30 before. 12 certificates for unregistered .ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under that ending, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Where they are registered
For the 41 with a registrar in WHOIS (66% 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.

Greyphish is not affiliated with Snowflake. Domains listed resemble Snowflake by spelling; registration alone says nothing about intent. Counts cover domains first seen in public Certificate Transparency logs and ICANN zone files; domains that Greyphish customers watch are excluded.
