I did a whois command for apple.com in Network Utility and got output which incluces this text: 

APPLE.COM-INTERNATIONALSECURE.COM
APPLE.COM.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.HACKED.BY.JAPTRON.ES
APPLE.COM.IS.0WN3D.BY.GULLI.COM
APPLE.COM.IS.OWN3D.BY.NAKEDJER.COM
APPLE.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.WAS.PWNED.BY.M1CROSOFT.COM
APPLE.COM.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
APPLE.COM.WWW.ZON.COM
APPLE.COM.ZON.COM
APPLE.COM

I got this output both when I was at home and at work. What this could mean? When I do whois for apple.com on thirdparty services in browswer, I do not get this output. Is something wrong with my system? (10.12.2, MBP Late 2013.)

Neither apple.com is hacked nor there is something wrong with your system. Somebody is just being clever by registering a domain with apple.com in it. You can check this for more details but the idea is same.
