Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aspen-ledger.live as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Ledger users through deceptive replication of the legitimate brand’s online presence. The domain leverages a combination of recently registered infrastructure and cryptographic certificates to establish false legitimacy, posing elevated risk to cryptocurrency holders who may interact with the fraudulent site under the assumption it belongs to the official Ledger ecosystem. Impersonation tactics typically involve mimicking official communications, wallet interfaces, or support portals to harvest private keys, seed phrases, or login credentials. This domain is currently active and engaged in active phishing campaigns, making immediate avoidance and reporting essential for user safety. This domain was flagged by multiple cybersecurity systems with consistent indicators of compromise: VirusTotal detected the threat via 2 of 95 participating security vendors, while infrastructure analysis reveals registration through Dynadot Inc on May 13, 2026. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with hostile hosting infrastructure known for serving phishing and malware content. Additionally, the domain has been listed on one active security blocklist curated by Hagezi, a recognized threat intelligence provider specializing in domain-based phishing detection. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further enhances its deceptive appearance by displaying a valid HTTPS connection, increasing the likelihood of user interaction and credential submission. Due to the elevated risk and active nature of this brand impersonation campaign, users are strongly advised to avoid accessing aspen-ledger.live under any circumstances. If accidentally visited, do not enter any personal information, wallet passwords, recovery phrases, or cryptocurrency credentials. Ledger users should verify all communications and links by cross-referencing the official domain ledger.com and using only trusted support channels. Report this domain immediately to your security team or through PhishDestroy’s submission portal to aid in rapid threat containment. Blocking at the network level via firewall rules or DNS filtering is recommended to prevent further exposure. Consider enabling hardware wallet confirmation for all transactions as an additional safeguard against unauthorized transfers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260517-5A6FBE Favicon MD5: 3d895de1f5f8336a125251174c7d9411 TLS cert SHA-256: f7898da7266aa47ca489f2602cf16d7d9fbb28aec61b7833454dab51c9289489 ## 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/aspen-ledger.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aspen-ledger.live 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.
