# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 20:37:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: dns1.p08.nsone.net, dns2.p08.nsone.net, dns3.p08.nsone.net, dns4.p08.nsone.net Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wixstudio.com ## 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:36:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 11:58:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e03-13c2-70c4-b647-27637e03baad/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0e95072b-63c7-4230-af32-bc3109f967da Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:01:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is currently under investigation for credential harvesting phishing activity targeting users through a generic_phishing scheme. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate login portals to capture sensitive authentication details, including usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. The risk level remains unclassified pending further forensic review, though initial indicators suggest a deliberate attempt to compromise user accounts across financial, corporate, or personal platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on December 17, 2016, and resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. The site appears on one security blocklist, though VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus or URL scanner has flagged it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common provider for both legitimate and malicious sites, offering no inherent trust signal. Despite its age, the domain maintains an active status with no prior takedowns or historical abuse reports, suggesting either low visibility or recent repurposing for phishing operations. Mitigation requires immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (34.144.206.118) at the network perimeter. Security teams should deploy endpoint protection rules to prevent user access and monitor for outbound connections to the domain. Given the credential harvesting nature of the threat, affected organizations must enforce password resets for any accounts potentially exposed to the site. Network logs should be reviewed for prior connections to hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com, with particular attention to timestamps correlating with failed login attempts or anomalous authentication patterns. Users reporting interaction with the domain should undergo phishing awareness training to reinforce recognition of fraudulent login pages. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-E321ED Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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/hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hub-ledgestarts.wixstudio.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.
