Apple brand impersonation using 5eg94f.cn

Analysis as of July 19 2026 indicates that the domain apple5a277ebfbad8462c9c6d0f2380520d41.5eg94f.cn, observed as 5eg94f.cn, is being used for a high‑risk Apple brand‑impersonation campaign. The site returns an HTTP 301 redirect and presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate, confirming that the connection is encrypted but does not validate the legitimacy of the host. Infrastructure traces show the hostname resolves to 104.21.47.240, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. and geolocated to Canada. The domain has been added to a single security blocklist and is already blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal reports 11 of 91 scanners flagging the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The available intelligence does not disclose the exact payload, landing page content, or phishing kit employed, so the full attack vector remains unknown. Defenders should add the domain and its resolved IP to outbound‑allow and DNS‑sinkhole rules, monitor TLS handshake anomalies for the Google Trust Services certificate, and ensure that any user‑initiated connections to the domain are blocked at the firewall or proxy level. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the active status and the presence of a redirect suggest the operator may alter the payload or host new malicious content at any time.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      1a7ff8afe61f29ff052f7fcda16e79f6908eea0f6e7bc455c06d121a5cc8b478

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
