Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies algorithm-ledger.com as a fraudulent website impersonating Ledger, a trusted cryptocurrency wallet brand, to deceive users into entering sensitive login credentials or financial information. This site leverages Ledger’s recognizable branding to appear legitimate, increasing the risk of credential theft and financial fraud. Visitors should avoid interacting with this domain and treat any encountered links or emails referencing it as suspicious. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis confirmed multiple red flags: it was created on April 15, 2026, just weeks ago, which is unusually recent for legitimate enterprise domains. Additionally, the domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with higher-risk or malicious registrations. VirusTotal, a widely used threat intelligence platform, reports that 4 out of 95 security vendors have already flagged algorithm-ledger.com as malicious. The site is also blocked by reputable entities such as SEAL, MetaMask, and Hagezi, which further validates its malicious nature. Its SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt does not legitimize the site, as attackers frequently use free certificates to appear authentic. If you visited algorithm-ledger.com or entered any information, take immediate action to protect yourself. First, disconnect from the internet to prevent potential data exfiltration. Next, change the passwords for any accounts where you used the same or similar credentials, especially Ledger or cryptocurrency-related accounts. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available and monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the incident to your bank or Ledger’s official support channels if you suspect compromise. Finally, consider running a malware scan on your device using trusted security software. Always verify website URLs carefully and access official sites only through bookmarked links or verified search results to avoid similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1ad16bfd84c5337aa97249817a4408be TLS cert SHA-256: 338ab4113d323ba4b900962d8247bffcbfbb78a1469b167bfb8ba9f5c6d3d51b ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/algorithm-ledger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=algorithm-ledger.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
