## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-14 23:58:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bestledgerwallet.com as posing an under_investigation risk due to brand impersonation targeting Ledger. Users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with this domain.  This assessment is based on several technical indicators. VirusTotal reports a low detection rate of 0/95, meaning it is currently not widely flagged. The domain, registered through Dynadot Inc, resolves to IP address 160.153.184.243 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on March 03, 2026, which is unusual for a legitimate Ledger resource. The page title, "Best Hardware Wallet Reviews & Ledger Comparisons | Best Ledger Wallet," suggests an attempt to lure users searching for Ledger products. The site is currently active, increasing the potential for harm.  To mitigate the risk of brand impersonation, users should avoid entering any personal information or credentials on bestledgerwallet.com. Verify the authenticity of any website before trusting it with sensitive data, and always access Ledger's official website directly through trusted bookmarks or by manually typing the address. Report any suspicious activity or suspected phishing attempts to Ledger's security team and relevant cybersecurity authorities.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260414-C62094
Favicon MD5:       333d229031ad12c2fae0552048573dea
TLS cert SHA-256:      4eb215e4dc8720c393ddf9240401de7accee4632a503431bff3869c6fcca0659

## 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.
