No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-19 04:37:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da362-1c01-7111-9baf-b2b01d6704bc/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-19 04:38:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy confirms apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev is actively hosting a malicious fake desktop application installer designed to deceive users into downloading counterfeit software. The domain mimics legitimate desktop application distribution platforms, suggesting a deliberate impersonation of trusted software vendors. No specific brand or drainer kit has been identified in current telemetry, but the generic lure implies a broad targeting strategy rather than a single high-value victim profile. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 security vendors detecting the URL as malicious, and the domain holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain was created using Cloudflare’s Pages service, which enables rapid deployment of static sites, often exploited in phishing campaigns for its speed and anonymity. At the time of analysis, the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists, though dynamic threat intelligence suggests active redirection or content changes may occur frequently. The threat remains active and under investigation, with no immediate blocklist inclusion observed. Users are advised to avoid downloading software from unverified sources and to verify URLs before interaction. Network defenders should monitor for connections to IP 188.114.97.3 and consider blocking the domain at the DNS or perimeter level. While detection remains low, the operational pattern aligns with emerging fake installer campaigns leveraging cloud-based hosting to evade detection. Remaining risk is moderate due to active status and absence of widespread blocking. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: af68b017563ffd93df1a2e222b75deeddcf89d983ab437459a33e707da2442ac ## 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/apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apps-desktop-ledge.pages.dev 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.
