Domain Squatting Data

The Domain Squatting risk vector detects the presence of domains named similarly to those that are owned and trademarked by an organization. Detection for these types of domains is based on information provided by DNS queries.

Domain Squatting records aren’t considered findings, but we cover a limited set of the key primary and secondary domains. The information is typically rescanned every week. It may depend on how many domains a company has and the ways they could be spoofed. IDN letter-swapping is not included in the variations we evaluate today.
