apple-clone-wsh2[.]vercel[.]app

The domain apple-clone-wsh2.vercel.app is currently active and has been classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Apple. Registration data shows the domain was created on 21 February 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc., and it resolves to IP 216.198.79.67, which is hosted in the United States under AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WR1, and the site serves content over HTTPS with HSTS enabled. Technical fingerprinting reveals the presence of Vercel’s hosting platform, a React front‑end, and the standard Vercel DNS nameservers (ns1‑ns4.vercel-dns-3.com). An HTTP request returns status 200, and the page title reported by scanners is simply "Apple," confirming that the site deliberately mirrors the Apple brand name.

Reputation checks show a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 and a Google Safe Browsing alert for social‑engineering content. VirusTotal has logged 19 detections out of 93 scanned engines, indicating substantial vendor consensus that the domain is malicious. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is specifically flagged by PhishDestroy. The identified scam type is a tech‑support scam, suggesting that victims may be lured into granting remote access or providing payment under the pretense of Apple support.

While the page title and brand impersonation are observable, the exact content and payload delivered to visitors have not been publicly disclosed, leaving the full attack vector uncertain. Defenders should immediately block network resolution to 216.198.79.67 and add apple-clone-wsh2.vercel.app to URL filtering rules. Continuous monitoring of related Vercel‑hosted subdomains and updating intrusion‑prevention signatures is advised, as the underlying infrastructure (React, Vercel) can be rapidly redeployed. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited Apple‑related tech‑support calls and reinforce that Apple never initiates support via unsolicited web links.
