Are other luxury jewelers2 and their customers at risk of the same threat? We sought to answer this and more with our in-depth analysis of potential look-alike domains and subdomains peddling counterfeit goods.

- Less than 1% of the domains containing the top luxury jewelers’ names could be publicly attributed to the companies
- More than 30 of the look-alike domains and subdomains have been dubbed “malicious” by various malware engines to date
- More than 140 of the domains’ IP resolutions were deemed “malicious”
