# PhishDestroy threat dossier — helpdeskpro-ledger.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 20:25:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/helpdeskpro-ledger.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: fake_support Targeted brand: ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Phishtank Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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: ["hadlee.ns.cloudflare.com", "keenan.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-15 Page title: Ledger Krypto-Wallet - Sicherheit für DeFi HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ca787774f6ea4cdf7bf79e52005c4f7d34738fb5f87662eaa07c3b2f1c24dc86 ## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:45:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-20 19:46:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-16 00:13:27 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2914-ef0f-717c-9f96-e93f72de6283/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/helpdeskpro-ledger.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.helpdeskpro-ledger.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=helpdeskpro-ledger.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/helpdeskpro-ledger.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/helpdeskpro-ledger.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 03:46:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, helpdeskpro-ledger.com, is a fraudulent site deliberately mimicking Ledger's official channels to trick users into disclosing sensitive information or downloading malware under the guise of tech support. The threat is confirmed by multiple security sources: only 3 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors currently detect it, it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 11, 2026, and it already appears on one public blocklist curated by Hagezi. The infrastructure is hosted at 188.114.96.3 and secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, adding a veneer of legitimacy that can mislead visitors. If you visited helpdeskpro-ledger.com, cease any interaction, log out of any accounts you may have accessed from that page, and run a full antivirus scan. Avoid entering credentials or payment details on the site. Report the encounter to Ledger’s official support and consider rotating passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da TLS cert SHA-256: ca787774f6ea4cdf7bf79e52005c4f7d34738fb5f87662eaa07c3b2f1c24dc86 ## 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/helpdeskpro-ledger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=helpdeskpro-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.
