SoundCloud lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 95 domains that resemble SoundCloud since February 2026, 11 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (77%) are typosquats, a keystroke or two away from the real name. .com carries 97% of them, out of 4 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 6 in the last 30 days against 2 in the 30 before. 20 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 86 with a registrar in WHOIS (91% 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.
| Registrar | Lookalikes | Share | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | 12 | 14.0% | Retail |
| Media Elite Holdings | 12 | 14.0% | Retail |
| Above.com | 11 | 12.8% | Retail |
| Gransy | 7 | 8.1% | Retail |
| Dynadot | 6 | 7.0% | Retail |

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