Detect lookalike and typosquat domains

Continuously detect lookalike, typosquat, and homoglyph domains targeting your brand — with structured evidence and takedown workflows.

The problem

Lookalike domains underpin phishing, BEC, and customer scams. By the time legal or IT finds out, the damage is done and takedown is slow and manual.

Why it matters now

New TLDs, cheap registrations, and AI-generated lure content make domain abuse trivial. Continuous detection and structured evidence are the only defense at scale.

How Verasity™ solves it

Continuous discovery

Detect new lookalike domains across TLDs, including homoglyph and Punycode variants.

Threat scoring

Risk-score each domain using DNS, MX, content, SSL, and registrar signals.

Evidence capture

Screenshots, WHOIS, and content snapshots packaged for registrar and host submissions.

Takedown workflows

Track each takedown end-to-end with SLA tracking and stakeholder notifications.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1

    Register your brand, executive, and product strings.

  2. 2

    Continuous discovery surfaces new lookalikes within hours.

  3. 3

    Each domain is risk-scored and grouped by attacker infrastructure.

  4. 4

    Generate an evidence package and submit a takedown.

  5. 5

    Track SLA, registrar response, and final disposition.

Example alert
