What is typosquatting detection?
Typosquatting is when attackers register domains that mimic yours — swapped letters, extra characters, different extensions — to impersonate your brand in phishing and fraud. Typosquatting detection finds those domains before they cause harm.
HookPhish continuously watches for lookalike and newly registered domains that resemble yours, scores how dangerous each one is, and gives you the evidence to monitor, block or request a takedown.
Monitor domain variations
Continuously detect typo, homoglyph and extension variations of your domains as they're registered.
