# PhishDestroy threat dossier — e8-ledger.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-23 22:29:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/e8-ledger.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 5.182.209.28 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS62068 SpectraIP B.V. Hosting org: SpectraIP B.V. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["ns.pwxs.ch", "ns.pwxs.me", "ns.pwxs.nl"] Page title: 403 Forbidden HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-10-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 01fa3dfe910ca887b3905f7ef6d125dadb5585125d5c2795c92317c1a88f3652 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - ftp.e8-ledger.net - mail.e8-ledger.net - pop.e8-ledger.net - smtp.e8-ledger.net - www.e8-ledger.net ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:38:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-24 00:20:46 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-19 23:38:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] e8-ledger.net Fake Ledger Alert The domain e8-ledger.net is actively flagged as a brand impersonation of Ledger. Technical analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 5.182.209.28, which is hosted in the Netherlands by SpectraIP B.V. The authoritative name servers are ns.pwxs.ch, ns.pwxs.me, and ns.pwxs.nl, and the registration record lists NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar. A Let's Encrypt certificate (issued to YE2) is present, but HTTP requests return a 403 Forbidden status, indicating that the web server is deliberately restricting access to its content. VirusTotal reports three out of ninety‑one security vendors flagging the domain, and the domain appears on three external blocklists. Independent threat‑intelligence feeds have already added e8-ledger.net to blocklists operated by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. While the 403 response limits immediate visibility into any malicious payloads or credential‑collection pages, the combination of brand impersonation labeling, vendor detections, and inclusion on multiple blocklists confirms a high‑risk posture. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution for e8-ledger.net and consider network‑level filtering of its associated IP address 5.182.209.28. Monitoring for additional subdomains under the same name‑server set and updating intrusion‑detection signatures to capture any future HTTP or TLS activity from this infrastructure are recommended. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the site may evolve beyond the current 403 response. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 01fa3dfe910ca887b3905f7ef6d125dadb5585125d5c2795c92317c1a88f3652 ## 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 (operator 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/e8-ledger.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=e8-ledger.net 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
