No. It&#x27;s easy to currently register an SSL certificate for any domain, even if that domain is similar to the name of another. The main reason this was a &quot;deterrent&quot; to phishers is that generating tons of these was expensive.<p>The phishers still have to front the cost for the domain itself, so this really isn&#x27;t going to increase the number of phishing domains. It may increase the number of phishing domains with SSL, but the purpose of Lets Encrypt is to encrypt everything -- not just &quot;official domains&quot;
