Vodafone lookalike domains

Greyphish has recorded 87 domains that resemble Vodafone since February 2026, 12 of them in the last 90 days. They split between combosquats (47%) and typosquats (47%). .com carries 70% of them, out of 20 endings in all. 24 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.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 57 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.

Recent examples

All brands with a page

Greyphish is not affiliated with Vodafone. Domains listed resemble Vodafone 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.
