On August 2, 2026, we read the public record for one question: who is standing on the PopSockets name. This is what we found. Take it one finding at a time.

The scope
21
domains are wearing your name.
We tested 197 close variations of popsockets.com. Twenty-five are registered. Four are your own defensive registrations. The other twenty-one belong to someone else.
What it means
Seven of them can email your customers as you.
These domains have live mail servers. That means each one can already send an "order confirmation," a "refund," or a "support" message from an address that looks like yours. This is the staging ground for a phishing run, not parked junk.
Four were built by one operator, in a single week.
These four were all registered at the same registrar, Dynadot, between July 1 and July 5, 2025, and every one carries the same live mail setup. That is not scattered squatting. It is one actor standing up a kit.
Opportunistic typo-squats a decade ago. The coordinated cluster in mid-2025. A working storefront clone registered 27 days ago. The problem is not static. It compounds.
