Verizon lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 112 domains that resemble Verizon since February 2026, 28 of them in the last 90 days. They split between typosquats (49%) and combosquats (46%). .com carries 81% of them, out of 14 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 14 in the last 30 days against 3 in the 30 before. 35 certificates for unregistered .com.ph, .ph, .org.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 92 with a registrar in WHOIS (82% 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.
