Stop Visual Deception
Lookalike domains go beyond simple typos. They're carefully crafted to appear identical to your legitimate domain at a glance—using visual tricks that fool even careful users.
Our monitoring detects these sophisticated attacks across character sets, extensions, and naming patterns that create dangerous confusion.
Lookalike Techniques We Detect
Homoglyph Attacks
Using characters from different alphabets that look identical:
- Cyrillic 'а' vs Latin 'a'
- Greek 'ο' vs Latin 'o'
- Armenian characters
- Mixed-script domains
Visual Similarity
- rn looking like m
- cl looking like d

- 1 looking like l or I
Structural Lookalikes
- Brand-word combinations (brand-login.com)
- Subdomain abuse (brand.attacker.com)
- TLD variations (.co instead of .com)
- Hyphen additions (brand-name.com)
