## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      Official® | Lédger.com/Start® | Getting Started™

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:34:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, appstarts-ledgur.wixstudio.com, is identified as a high-risk phishing resource targeting users of the Ledger cryptocurrency hardware wallet. The site impersonates the official Ledger onboarding portal, presenting itself as 'Official® | Lédger.com/Start® | Getting Started™' to deceive victims into entering sensitive credentials or recovery phrases. No direct evidence of a drainer kit was observed, but the domain exhibits classic phishing infrastructure designed for credential harvesting under the guise of a legitimate service.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a common registrar for both legitimate and malicious domains. The site is hosted on Wix’s platform, leveraging technologies such as React, Google Cloud, and HTTP/3, which are frequently abused to lend credibility to fraudulent operations. At the time of assessment, the domain was flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with additional detections across three distinct blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a free and automated certificate authority often exploited by threat actors to create the appearance of legitimacy. No associated IP addresses were provided, but the use of Google Cloud CDN suggests an attempt to obscure hosting origins and evade detection.  The domain has since been taken offline, likely in response to security vendor reports and blocklist inclusions. However, the risk remains elevated for users who may have interacted with the site prior to its deactivation. Historical exposure could lead to compromised credentials, unauthorized access to cryptocurrency wallets, or further targeted attacks. Users are advised to revoke any permissions granted to the domain, rotate recovery phrases, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and conduct retrospective analysis to identify potential prior compromises.

## 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.
