By problem · Look-alike domains

See the domains registered to pass as yours

A domain one letter from yours can send an invoice or host a sign-in page that reads as yours, and nothing you set on your own domain governs it. We read from outside which look-alikes are registered and live today.

Attackers use AI to find openings. We use it to find yours first, and a person checks every finding before your assessment is released.

What we check for thisRead-only
Misspellings
A letter dropped, doubled, swapped or replaced by one that looks like it
Other endings
The same name on another ending, such as .com for a firm on .ca
Live today
Whether each name answers in public DNS, and whether it takes mail
Who holds it
Not shown. We do not guess who registered a name, or why
Reviewed by a person before release. Every finding carries a check anyone can run.
01 · What we check

What sits one character from your web address.

Impersonation of small and local names slips past filters built for big brands, and your firm’s own name is exactly that kind of name.

01
Registered and live

Names one character from yours that answer in public DNS today. A name that points at your own server is yours, and is set aside.

02
Ready to take mail

Whether a look-alike publishes a mail server, so a reply a client meant for you could reach it.

03
Watched every hour

On business monitoring, the registered look-alikes are re-read every hour, and a new one reaches you the same day.

04
A takedown request, prepared

In the paid assessment, for each live look-alike we prepare a takedown request to its registrar: the abuse contact from the public registration record, the evidence, and a letter in your firm's name, prepared for you to send. You or your counsel send it.

02 · What we measured

Measured on 30 September 2026.

4 in 10
Professional firms have a look-alike of their domain registered and live.

Measured across the firms we have assessed in Canada and the United States, not a national census. The method is in the study.

03 · What we read

The outside view, in plain words.

Public DNS
The common misspellings of your domain, and whether each one answers. Check it yourself: type your domain with one letter changed.
Mail records
Whether a look-alike publishes a mail server of its own.
What it cannot see
Who registered a name, or why. On a short name the nearest variant is often another legitimate business. We send nothing and contact no one on your behalf.
How we are different

Next to the people you already work with.

Your IT provider

Keeps your systems running and does the fixes. We give them an independent list to act on, with the check that proves each fix. We are paid by no one who sells the fixes, so every finding is independent.

A penetration test

Tries to break in and needs access. We read only what is already public, from outside, and log into nothing.

Your insurer's scan

Feeds your premium and eligibility. We show you the same outside view first, in plain words, so you walk into renewal knowing the answers.

For your firm

See which names one letter from yours are live today.

The External Exposure Check: your outside reading, with what we found and a check you can run yourself. No access, nothing tested.
