Domain/IP Issue

On my router, I am seeing a lot of activity from this one domain. The router is blocking this domain and categorized it as "malware" for security reasons.

Is this domain a legit Apple domain? If so, what service is it associated with?

iadsdk.apple.com

iMac, macOS 10.13

Malicious websites caught at router Hello, I recently changed ISPs and chose the fastest WiFi service possible. This service comes with supplemental Advanced Security available on the router which I enabled. This security is reporting attempts to visit malicious websites by every iOS device in our home. However, no one is entering these websites in any browser. I am on ios 15 with an iphone 12 and I have deleted Safari history and no, I am not jailbroken. So what gives and how can I fix this issue? We have been coming near or going over our data caps as well but shouldn't be using anywhere near so much data.

Phishing While Updating Applications Hello: I tried to update my software in response to a reminder to manually update my software. During that process, I was presented with a request for an account which I do not own. See attached screen shot. The account was apple@jmbarker.com When I tried to change the account name to my account, I was prevented in clicking inside the account name dialog box. I did not enter my password. The account as listed above does not return any known text strings in a google search. Please advise if my network has been compromised.

Redirection to spam websites From the last few days I have been experiencing a problem of redirection to some spam websites whenever i tries to access any link on a specific website which tells that there are 4 viruses found. The spam website is almost the replica of apple website. This is happening to a specific domain. The connection is unsecured to that domain. Also I am connected via wifi (BSNL fibre) to the internet.

It's a subdomain of Apple.com. Since Apple owns apple.com, it's owned and controlled by them. It redirects to akamai edge, which is used for content distribution.

According to WHOIS LOOKUP no one owns the iadsdk.apple.com domain. It's available for purchase. Don't know what you're seeing.
