Strange sites under my account revenue

Hello
Few minutes ago I realized that in my sites revenue, I see two straing domains which are "ungy1.hosts" dot cx and "ft4s5.hosts" dot xc and both of them I didn't add and they aren't under my verified ads.

I didn't open the links because not sure if they are safe or not. So what's this? Is it a normal thing or glitch or someone using my codes?

They could be sites that have scraped your content including add code. Since you have not verified these domains, Google knows this & there's nothing else to do at the Adsense level.

However, you may wish to investigate these sites to see just how much of your content is being used without your consent. There *could* be damaging results to your ranking, branding & traffic. The only way to determine this is to have a look. Also look at the source code for any pages using your content.

The offending pages may have cut'n pasted your content, or they may be iframing your entire pages to their domain. You'll need to determine this to decide the next steps, if any, in dealing with this:

• If scraped content - you can file a Cease & Desist to the site owner & their host.

• If iframing, there are a couple code remedies you can do to block it.

@keyplyr I remembered now that I moved to a new hosting, and while the new hosting was migrating my site they did a preview site for me to test it on hosts dot cx. I will try to talk to my hosting company to check regarding this matter.

But having my content scraped doesn't and the sites not verified doesn't affect my Adsense account right?

No, not your account.
