cuiwenqi[.]cn

Analysis of the domain cuiwenqi.cn (created 08 Nov 2025) shows a clear pattern of brand impersonation targeting Apple users. The site was hosted on IP 47.239.194.94, which resolves to a server in Hong Kong operated by AS45102, Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP. Registration was performed through 阿里云计算有限公司（万网）, a subsidiary of Alibaba Cloud, using the nameservers dns3.hichina.com and dns4.hichina.com. The only visible page title is “Apple”, matching the declared brand target and the listed scam type of a Tech Support Scam.

Reputation services assign extremely low confidence scores: Gridinsoft rates the domain 0/100, Scamadviser 1/100, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has explicitly blocked the domain, and AlienVault OTX references it in 17 threat‑intelligence pulses, indicating repeated sightings by the community. VirusTotal scans returned 14 positive detections out of 95 security vendors, reinforcing the malicious classification.

The domain is currently offline, and the offline status was confirmed as of the report date (23 Jul 2026). Because the site no longer resolves, active probing is limited, but the historical infrastructure and the breadth of detections provide sufficient evidence to label the domain as an Apple‑impersonating tech‑support scam. Uncertainty remains regarding the current activity of any residual infrastructure or whether the domain owner may repurpose the registration for future attacks.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter defenses, add the associated IP address to deny‑list rules, and monitor for any re‑registration attempts. Threat‑intel feeds that include PhishDestroy, AlienVault OTX, and VirusTotal should be leveraged to propagate the indicator of compromise.
