No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-19 02:03:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da2d5-5606-703b-8ade-7440a47dfadf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/guide-live-desktop.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.guide-live-desktop.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=guide-live-desktop.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/guide-live-desktop.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/guide-live-desktop.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-19 02:05:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active brand impersonation campaign targeting Ledger users through the malicious domain guide-live-desktop.pages.dev. This fraudulent site masquerades as the official Ledger Live Desktop application, luring victims with the convincing page title 'Ledger Live Desktop® | Secure Crypto Management for Your Computer' while operating outside Ledger's legitimate infrastructure. The threat actor leverages Cloudflare's infrastructure to host this impersonation, attempting to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials under the guise of secure desktop management. Technical analysis reveals this domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Current sandbox evaluations show undetected status with 0/95 VirusTotal detections, indicating this threat remains under the radar despite active impersonation attempts. This domain poses a high-risk credential theft threat to cryptocurrency users, specifically targeting Ledger wallet owners seeking desktop management solutions. The impersonation is particularly dangerous as it closely replicates legitimate Ledger branding and service descriptions to establish false trust. Evidence confirms this is an active campaign with Cloudflare as registrar, using legitimate hosting infrastructure to bypass traditional security filters. The domain's recent creation combined with zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95) suggests this threat is actively evolving to evade detection systems. Users attempting to download legitimate Ledger software should note the official distribution occurs through ledger.com domains only. Users who visited guide-live-desktop.pages.dev should immediately suspect credential compromise and revoke any entered wallet information through Ledger's official recovery channels. Check all connected devices for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring funds to cold storage wallets. Report any interaction with this domain to Ledger's security team and update all passwords associated with cryptocurrency accounts. Enable two-factor authentication on all crypto-related services and install reputable ad-blocking extensions to prevent future exposure to similar impersonation domains. Monitor financial accounts closely for suspicious activity and consider reporting the incident to relevant cybercrime units. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e3c0e9a9872302bd650b240b2bf1971a2bf0db5624f7600539310a69b99ddf2a ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/guide-live-desktop.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=guide-live-desktop.pages.dev 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
