PhishDestroy identifies firmwareupdate.io as an ACTIVE brand-impersonation domain posing as the official Ledger Live update portal to distribute a crypto drainer and harvest wallet credentials. The risk level is currently marked as under_investigation while deeper behavioral analysis continues. Users should treat this domain as HIGH RISK until proven otherwise.

This domain was flagged on April 25, 2026, resolving to 216.150.1.1 via Let's Encrypt SSL and registered through Porkbun LLC. VirusTotal shows 17/95 detections at time of analysis, confirming it has evaded automated blocklists. The page title mimics Ledger Live, indicating clear intent to deceive visitors seeking firmware updates. Registrar data, IP allocation, and SSL provider align with known fast-flux hosting patterns used by crypto-draining operations.

To stay safe, never download firmware or applications from third-party links. Always verify update URLs directly on the official Ledger website or within the Ledger Live application. Enable hardware wallet transaction verification and consider using an isolated browser profile for crypto operations. If you suspect interaction with this domain, revoke any connected wallet permissions immediately and scan devices with updated antivirus software.
