Stolen phones - and specifically iPhones - have robust anti-theft protections. They are worthless once they're flagged - locked to their owner. So why are millions still being stolen every year?
In this paper, we uncover a thriving underground marketplace focused on unlocking stolen phones. It is powered by:

Lookalike domains impersonating Apple, Xiaomi, Samsung and other brands
Smishing campaigns targeting device owners
Pay‑as‑you‑go “unlocking” tools sold on Telegram
By pivoting on DNS data, we identified 10,000+ malicious domains and a growing ecosystem turning locked devices into profit at scale.

👉 Read how this supply chain works—from theft to resale—and why it’s growing fast. https://www.infoblox.com/blog/threat-intelligence/lookalike-domains-expose-the-iphone-theft-economy/
