Lookalike domain report: June 29 to July 5, 2026
Domains that imitate widely used brands, first seen in Certificate Transparency logs and ICANN zone files during this week: how many, which brands, where they were registered and what the live ones did. Free to cite with a link.
Published . A stored snapshot: these figures do not change. This week so far.
- Live and mail checks did not yet cover this week; they cover lookalikes first seen from 17 September 2026.
- Takedown tracking did not yet cover this week; it began on 24 September 2026.
- 1,519 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.

Examples
One per brand, written with [.] so they cannot be clicked. A lookalike resembles a brand; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.

How this is counted
A week runs Monday to Sunday, UTC. Each domain is counted once, in the week Greyphish first saw it, and only for about 1,250 widely impersonated public brands: domains Greyphish customers watch, and anything derived from their watchlists, are excluded. The full method and caveats are on the live report.
