Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Ledger

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot
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"]

HTTP response:   404

## 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 05:31:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:30:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is assessed as high risk due to brand impersonation targeting Ledger. The infrastructure hosts a counterfeit Ledger Live Desktop setup flow designed to mimic legitimate wallet onboarding pages. No drainer kit is explicitly confirmed in available intelligence, but the behavioral pattern strongly aligns with credential harvesting and wallet compromise operations.

Technical indicators show a VirusTotal detection score of 12/95 security vendors. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and was created on June 08, 2026. It is hosted using Wix infrastructure with supporting technologies including React, Google Cloud, Lodash, Google Cloud CDN, HTTP/3, and HSTS. SSL is issued via Let’s Encrypt. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. No IP address or GSB status is provided in the dataset.

The domain is currently taken offline, indicating successful disruption or hosting removal. Despite inactivity, the use of trusted CDN and cloud services suggests potential for rapid reactivation or replication under similar infrastructure. Recommended mitigations include continued blocklisting across DNS and web filters, monitoring Wix subdomain abuse patterns, validating Ledger software downloads exclusively from official channels, and treating any prior user interaction as potential credential exposure requiring investigation.

## 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.
