Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified the domain begin-desktop-ledgr.pages.dev as an active phishing threat targeting Ledger cryptocurrency wallet users. The domain mimics the official Ledger Live desktop application interface to steal login credentials and recovery phrases. This generic phishing attack poses a high risk to users who may be tricked into entering sensitive information, leading to potential theft of cryptocurrency assets. Technical analysis reveals the domain is registered through Cloudflare Pages, a service often abused by threat actors for its free hosting and CDN capabilities. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1. VirusTotal data shows 12 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, indicating a moderate detection rate. The domain remains active, and no creation date is available from public records, but its sustained presence underscores the ongoing risk. Users who have visited begin-desktop-ledgr.pages.dev and entered any credentials or recovery phrases should immediately change their Ledger wallet passwords and enable two-factor authentication. If the recovery phrase was disclosed, transfer all funds to a new wallet generated on the official Ledger Live application. Run a full antivirus scan on the affected device and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to cybersecurity authorities and consider using a password manager to avoid future phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c5a34e11f9b4be5be26feac04f36143f942fc3cfb9f859bb2dccd8e6f5d1db12 ## 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/begin-desktop-ledgr.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=begin-desktop-ledgr.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.
