Frequently Asked Questions

Are all .xyz websites scams?

No. The .xyz extension is among the most-abused top-level domains in published phishing-landscape data, which is why it appears frequently in scam infrastructure. Many legitimate sites use .xyz. This page lists only the specific .xyz domains flagged by threat-intelligence feeds — not the extension as a whole.

Why do scammers use .xyz domains?

Scammers favour cheap, fast-to-register extensions with slower abuse enforcement, because they expect the domain to be taken down within days. Registration cost and enforcement speed — not the extension's purpose — drive the choice.

How do I check if a specific .xyz site is safe?

Look it up here or on Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal, and check its registration date with a WHOIS lookup. Very new domains imitating an established brand are a strong warning sign.
