Apple Continues to Register Mystery Domain Names

Posted on February 7, 2014 Written by Bill Hartzer

A few days ago, I uncovered the fact that Apple owns a bunch of mysterious domain names, most of which are resolving to a default Linux setup page on Amazon’s cloud.

apple-mystery-domains

But today, after I reported that one of these mysterious domain names, trollqtkhoverlaysbynk.biz, was registered and then deleted, was just re-registered yesterday.

On January 24, 2014, Apple registered trollqtkhoverlaysbynk.biz. But, on January 25, 2014, Apple deleted trollqtkhoverlaysbynk.biz which is now available for registration.

As of the writing of this post, this domain name, trollqtkhoverlaysbynk.biz is actually not resolving to the Amazon cloud server like the other domain names have been.

Here’s the entire list of domain names that I found, these are all pointing to an Amazon cloud server. If you would like to look at the list yourself, as it seems to be changing each day, you can use Majestic SEO’s IP Neighborhood checker. There are now 26 domains:

1 hs76ksgxebfh2md.com

2 ogpwcickblflv.net

3 ocxrylnbtbornw.net

4 ntcfiniplfbresibfjnuszrnmyfisc.net

5 ncolyqpsfpsp.net

6 mrljplgyqaxegra.net

7 mnavhedhsppvt.net

8 lufdsnreeoky.net

9 lfafbwyvhggh.net

10 kldiefnymkbuidx.net

11 jaxmqwmskvpukig.net

12 ftrtoeeiihqy.net

13 fqfvtunwcsto.net

14 ennglegjttqt.net

15 crlmjuwvgmxf.net

16 bpaulaodaieq.net

17 bfrdafvnohjvue.net

18 agikugkoyord.net

19 xlrlhcvcqoopk.info

20 wiclcpmnonvco.info

21 tgquxfxndseof.info

22 pplmloracgrvn.info

23 yjdkxvdptdhvdy.in

24 stkjpcljfbsncam.com

25 royxolaihpvfef.net

26 xctexmtcuakw.net

By using Majestic SEO’s IP neighborhood checker, I was able to find, historically, that Apple has been doing this since around March 2013, and currently there are 26 domains on this same IP address. There are actually have been as many as 172 domain names that are “mysterious” domain names that Apple is doing this with.
