Twitch lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 65 domains that resemble Twitch since February 2026, 12 of them in the last 90 days. They split between combosquats (49%) and typosquats (46%). .tv carries 60% of them, out of 10 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 9 in the last 30 days against 1 in the 30 before. 35 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 13 with a registrar in WHOIS (20% 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.
