Legitimate ones? Hard to tell. Onlookers as a result of this coverage? Lots. I don't really want to meaningfully count :).

As best as we can tell, this issue started in the late evening Sunday, registration occurred very early in the morning Monday, and was subsequently resolved later in the day: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19852289#19852289 And it

Hi everyone. I registered bogusapple.com after a buddy of mine posted a screenshot of Little Snitch prompting iTunes' access to the domain. All credit for finding this snafu goes to gentmatt, and my bank account for allowing me the ability

A lot of folks are suggesting it was a typo, and they intended to use bogus.apple.com instead, which is very very likely. I can tell you with 100% certainty that standard HTTP request information is being sent to the domain. So, IPs for the

I don't know exactly when it started, but I suspect Apple has used this domain for at least a few days now. Whether that's as far back as Mountain Lion's release, or as recently as iTunes 10.7. Considering some of our active theories, it ma
