Newly-registered AU brand-pattern domains
Coverage: newly registered generic-TLD domains (.com, .shop, .xyz and similar). .au registrations are not yet included, so counts for brands on .au domains are a lower bound.
Each entry below is a domain registered in the last 7 days that imitates a brand on our watchlist and that we have confirmed as a lookalike and reported to Netcraft, whose verdicts feed browser blocklists. We don't know who registered these domains or why, and we make no claim about the people behind them.

Updated dailyEvery domain listed on this page is a confirmed lookalike that we have reported to Netcraft, whose verdicts feed the blocklists browsers use. Brand-name matches that are not confirmed are counted here but never listed.
Most of this is our own cadence — we submit to Netcraft once a day at ~13:00 UTC — not Netcraft, which classifies within minutes of receiving a report.
Last 90 days · the vendor-gap clock
Phishing classifications come from urlscan.io renders or Safe Browsing / VirusTotal reputation; their timestamps are quantised by our recheck and retrieve cycles. Blocklisting timings count only transitions witnessed in the vendor's own per-URL gradings; a blocklisted site may still be online. Only confirmed lookalikes are counted.
Monthly reportsLatest edition — September 2026: 816 lookalike domains across 143 brands.
What this list is
Every day we match newly-registered domains against the brand names on our watchlist. A match is listed here only once it is confirmed as a lookalike: our clone classifier judged the name a copy of the brand and a scan of the live site or a threat-reputation service flagged it as phishing, or one of our team confirmed it. We report every listed domain to Netcraft. Matches that are not confirmed are counted in the numbers above but never listed.

Inclusion here means we confirmed the domain as a lookalike of a brand and reported it to Netcraft. It is not a finding about you — we don't know who registered it or why. If you believe your domain is listed in error, or you want to explain its purpose, contact us and we will review the entry — corrections and removals are actioned on every substantiated request.

Newly-registered domain (NRD) lists from whoisds.com (free public tier), matched against a watchlist of 290+ brands Australians use — retail, banks, telcos, logistics and more.
Entries are machine-classified (name-similarity match, an automated clone classifier, and a live-site scan or reputation check); operators review exceptions. That process does not determine who registered the domain or why: we have not contacted registrants, and we make no legal characterisation of any domain or its registrant.
The page refreshes at most hourly and the sweep runs once a day. Entries fall off 7 days after the domain was first seen. See our privacy policy for how we handle this data.
