## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-25 01:13:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies active phishing infrastructure targeting Ledger wallet users via begin-ldger-downloaded.pages.dev. The campaign is currently live and distributing fraudulent download pages masquerading as the official Ledger Ledger Live software. Users are redirected to this domain under the guise of a critical wallet update, with threat actors harvesting private keys and seed phrases.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors at time of analysis, operates behind Cloudflare’s proxy network via IP 172.66.44.179, and leverages a Google Trust Services SSL certificate for authenticity. Registered through Cloudflare, Inc., the domain has not yet been listed on major blocklists. Trust scores remain neutral due to low detection rates and active cloaking behavior. The domain resolves to a Pages.dev subdomain, commonly abused for short-lived phishing lures.

The campaign remains active and evolving. Security teams are advised to block begin-ldger-downloaded.pages.dev at the DNS and firewall levels. Users should verify all Ledger Live downloads directly from ledger.com and enable hardware wallet verification before inputting any recovery phrases. Monitor for unusual outbound connections or unauthorized wallet access. This threat is under active investigation; IOCs may expand as additional infrastructure is uncovered.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a4cc44729dc4395b77892b6fd26fece16947961ca2680c19685a539d1d20274c

## 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.
