On October 18, a security company issued a warning regarding the emergence of counterfeit Apple iPhone Duo preorder websites. These sites utilize phrases like "limited early purchase" to lure consumers, posing a phishing attack risk. The company reported that these websites can identify the system version of visitors. If a user's device has known security vulnerabilities, it may be exploited for attacks.

This indicates that merely clicking on the site without entering information or downloading scripts could allow hackers to control the user's device. The company advises users to purchase products through Apple's official website or trusted sales channels and to update their mobile operating systems and apps regularly to reduce the risk of online scams and vulnerability attacks.
