I did a whois command for apple.com in Network Utility and got output which incluces this text: 

APPLE.COM-INTERNATIONALSECURE.COM
APPLE.COM.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.HACKED.BY.JAPTRON.ES
APPLE.COM.IS.0WN3D.BY.GULLI.COM
APPLE.COM.IS.OWN3D.BY.NAKEDJER.COM
APPLE.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.WAS.PWNED.BY.M1CROSOFT.COM
APPLE.COM.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.WWW.ZON.COM
APPLE.COM.ZON.COM
APPLE.COM

I got this output both when I was at home and at work. What this could mean? When I do whois for apple.com on thirdparty services in browswer, I do not get this output. Is something wrong with my system? (10.12.2, MBP Late 2013.)

  • Igor, please, take a look at [this question](https://superuser.com/q/734391/238539). It is about the same problem as you have and it explains why it happens. – VL-80 Dec 27 '16 at 14:46
  • Also, [this question](https://superuser.com/q/37954/238539) explains a lot. – VL-80 Dec 27 '16 at 14:53
  • I see that my question is clearly a duplicate. I'll search better next time. – Igor R. Dec 27 '16 at 16:52

Neither apple.com is hacked nor there is something wrong with your system. Somebody is just being clever by registering a domain with apple.com in it. You can check this for more details but the idea is same.
