xrpweb3ledger[.]com

On 24 July 2026 the domain xrpweb3ledger.com was observed hosting a malicious site that claims to be associated with Ledger. The page title returned by the web server is “XRP Web3 Ledger”, which aligns with the advertised brand impersonation of the hardware‑wallet provider Ledger. WHOIS data shows the domain was registered on 23 December 2025 through Cosmotown, Inc., and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.81.49 located in the United States under ASN 53667 (FranTech Solutions). The authoritative name servers are ns103.asurahosting.com, ns104.asurahosting.com, ns103.my‑control‑panel.com and ns104.m, indicating the use of a shared hosting environment.

HTTP requests receive a 200 OK response and the server advertises LiteSpeed with HTTP/3 support, while the front‑end is built with Tailwind CSS. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (certificate identifier E7), which may reduce suspicion for casual visitors. Reputation checks are uniformly negative: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, the domain appears on four independent security blocklists, and it is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt and Codeesura. VirusTotal analysis shows 8 of 93 scanning engines flag the domain as malicious, reinforcing the high‑risk assessment.

The infrastructure suggests a low‑cost, rapidly deployed phishing kit, typical of crypto‑related scams that lure victims into disclosing private keys or transferring funds. No additional technical artifacts such as malicious binaries or command‑and‑control endpoints have been disclosed, leaving the exact payload and victim interaction unknown. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any traffic to 198.251.81.49, and add the observed name servers to watchlists. Users of Ledger products should be warned that any unsolicited request originating from xrpweb3ledger.
