app[.]ledger-lives-desktop[.]io

The domain app.ledger-lives-desktop.io was registered on May 27 2026 and is presently active. It is being leveraged to impersonate the Ledger brand, reproducing the Ledger Live onboarding experience as evidenced by the page title “Ledger Live Setup: Wallet Configuration and Onboarding”. The threat is classified as high‑risk brand impersonation targeting Ledger users. 

Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IPv4 address 193.24.123.182, which is hosted in Russia and tied to the legal entity Prospero OOO. The site is fronted by Cloudflare, employing Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, and presents a valid TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt (YR2). An HTTP 302 redirect is observed, steering visitors to a credential‑capture page that mirrors the official Ledger Live UI. 

Reputation data is strongly negative: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, the domain appears on one public security blocklist, and VirusTotal records three detections out of ninety‑five scanners. PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain, confirming its malicious intent. The page’s content is crafted to lure victims into entering wallet credentials, consistent with the observed brand‑impersonation pattern. 

Defenders should add app.ledger-lives-desktop.io to network‑level blocklists, configure email security gateways to quarantine any messages referencing the domain, and monitor DNS queries for the domain and its resolved IP address. Threat‑intel sharing with industry feeds can accelerate detection of related campaigns. End‑user education must stress that legitimate Ledger communications never originate from third‑party domains, and that a Let’s Encrypt certificate does not validate the authenticity of the service.
