Newly registered is not the same as malicious. Many of these are unrelated businesses or hobby sites. They are listed because attackers use exactly this pattern. Domains sharing a brand name with a keyword such as login, secure or verify deserve the closest look.

How LinkedIn phishing works

Phishing against LinkedIn follows patterns common to social & messaging. Typical lures:

A "your account will be disabled" warning from a fake copyright or policy team.
A verification-badge offer or "you have been selected" message that leads to a cloned login.
A login-code request that tricks you into handing over the SMS or app code.
A message from a hacked friend with a link to "see this video of you".

Red flags

Official platforms do not threaten to delete your account within hours.
Links come through DMs or comments instead of the app's own notification centre.
You are asked for a login code, or to log in again from a link.

Real LinkedIn domains

If the address in your browser is not one of these (or a subdomain of them), it is not LinkedIn. The list is not exhaustive.

linkedin.comlicdn.com

If you already clicked or entered details

Recover the account through the platform's own help page, revoke unknown sessions and connected apps, reset the password and switch on authenticator-app 2FA. Warn your contacts that messages from you may be fake.

Protecting a brand like LinkedIn from lookalike domains

If you run security, brand or fraud for a company that is copied this way, this is the order that works in practice:

Enforce DMARC. Move your policy to quarantine, then reject, so attackers cannot send mail that passes as your domain.
Watch new registrations. Lookalikes appear daily; the earlier you see one, the sooner you can act, ideally before the first email goes out.
Register the obvious typos and keyword variants you can afford to hold, and check which lookalikes are already registered by someone else.
Report fast. A live fake needs a request to the registrar and host, plus a report to browser safe-browsing lists and the public feeds shown above.
Tell your customers where you will and will not ask for logins, codes or payments.

Protect your brand from lookalike domains

LinkedIn is one of 579 brands in this index, but attackers copy any company whose customers log in or pay. PhishPin checks your domain for registered lookalikes, email-spoofing gaps and listings in these same phishing feeds, then helps you get the fakes taken down.

Questions about LinkedIn phishing

How can I tell if a message from LinkedIn is phishing?

Check the sender and link domain first. Official platforms do not threaten to delete your account within hours. Links come through DMs or comments instead of the app's own notification centre. You are asked for a login code, or to log in again from a link. When in doubt, do not use the link: type linkedin.com into your browser or open the official app.

How many LinkedIn phishing sites has PhishPin found?

As of 2 Nov 2026, 105 hostnames referencing LinkedIn appear in the phishing feeds PhishPin indexes (147 reported URLs). These are reported hostnames, not a count of sites that are online today; many are removed quickly and some matches are coincidental.

What do fake LinkedIn domains look like?

In our data, the most common ending for reported hosts is .com. The brand is most often combined with the word "secure". 93 hosts put the brand name in a subdomain of an unrelated site. Always read the part of the address just before the first single slash: that is the real site. Real LinkedIn addresses end in linkedin.com.

What should I do if I entered my details on a fake LinkedIn page?

How do I report a fake LinkedIn website or message?

Forward phishing emails to reportphishing@apwg.org, report scams at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and report the page to Google Safe Browsing. Also tell LinkedIn through the contact options on its official website (linkedin.com).

Is it safe to visit the domains listed on this page?

No. They are shown defanged, with dots in brackets, so they cannot be clicked by accident. Do not type them into a browser. Listings are warnings from automated matching, and some are harmless coincidences.

How does PhishPin find lookalike domains of LinkedIn?

We read the daily list of newly registered domains (1,050,000 domains over the last 15 days) and flag those that contain the brand name, differ by one character or swap look-alike characters. A match is a warning sign, not proof of abuse.

How can a company protect its own brand from lookalike domains like these?

Publish an enforced DMARC policy so nobody can send mail as your domain, monitor newly registered domains that resemble your name, register the obvious typo domains, and file takedown requests with the registrar, host and browser safe-browsing lists when a fake goes live. PhishPin's free brand audit checks the first three for your domain.
