## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-23 02:12:24 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 19:38:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies appstart-ledgxr.wixstudio.com as an active crypto-draining phishing site under investigation. This WixStudio-hosted domain mimics a legitimate Ledger wallet interface to trick users into connecting their hardware wallets and approve malicious transactions. The campaign is currently live and has not yet been flagged by most detection engines, indicating a high-risk, low-profile threat.  This domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for added credibility. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting it remains undetected by mainstream security tools. The site is hosted on WixStudio’s platform, leveraging its reputation to evade initial suspicion. No blocklist entries or trust score data are publicly available at this time, reinforcing its stealthy operation. The domain is active and continues to serve malicious content targeting cryptocurrency users.  Mitigation for crypto drainer attacks requires immediate domain blocking and user education. Block the domain at the network and DNS levels using threat intelligence feeds. Warn users to verify wallet URLs via official sources and never connect devices to suspicious websites. Implement browser extensions that detect and block known crypto drainer signatures. Report the domain to hosting providers and security vendors to expedite takedown. Always use hardware wallets with verified firmware and cross-check transaction details before approval.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab

## 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.
