# PhishDestroy threat dossier — help-ledger.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-17 06:11:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/help-ledger.com/ ## 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: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 45.142.141.42 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-17 07:29:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-17 08:33:48 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3430-42b4-7404-ab72-926cd844a73d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help-ledger.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help-ledger.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help-ledger.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help-ledger.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help-ledger.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-17 07:30:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies help-ledger.com as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Ledger cryptocurrency wallet users. This domain employs deliberate visual and textual mimicry to deceive visitors into surrendering sensitive seed phrases, private keys, or login credentials under the false pretense of technical support or account verification. The elevated risk level reflects its confirmed malicious intent, active infrastructure, and ongoing availability despite detection efforts by security vendors and blocklists. This domain was flagged by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, appears on one known public blocklist maintained by Hagezi, and resolves to IP address 45.142.141.42. It operates under a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to simulate legitimacy. Registered through NameSilo, LLC on May 10, 2026, the domain is less than one year old, a common tactic to evade long-term reputation-based detection. Its sole purpose appears to be the fraudulent exploitation of Ledger’s brand equity to harvest financial credentials from unsuspecting cryptocurrency holders. Users encountering help-ledger.com should assume it is a malicious impersonation and treat all forms of interaction—including clicks, form submissions, or file downloads—as potential security risks. To mitigate exposure, immediately block the domain at the network and DNS levels, and clear browser cache and cookies that may have been set during any accidental visit. Always access Ledger services through official channels verified via multi-factor authentication and hardware wallet verification. Report the domain to your email provider, browser security extensions, and security platforms like PhishDestroy or VirusTotal to help prevent further victimization. Continuing to monitor this domain's propagation could aid in disrupting ongoing campaigns against cryptocurrency users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c0fcfdcd221c391cb16fa57813feb43f ## 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/help-ledger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-ledger.com 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.
