  • 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.
  • 13,337 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 were registered

Registrar data is incomplete for this week, so the registrar ranking is left out: WHOIS covers 24% of its lookalikes.

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.

  • xn--pple-poa[.]com, a homoglyph of Apple. A homoglyph first seen on 31 Jul.
  • rnicros0ft[.]com, a homoglyph of Microsoft. A homoglyph first seen on 31 Jul.
  • xn--tiktk-3ta[.]com, a homoglyph of TikTok. A homoglyph first seen on 30 Jul.
  • xn--amazo-sta[.]com, a homoglyph of Amazon. A homoglyph first seen on 31 Jul.
  • redclit[.]com, a homoglyph of Reddit. A homoglyph first seen on 27 Jul.

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.
