# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 15:40:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Certego, Cluster25, 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"] Page title: Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger®® HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-18 15:12:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 18:19:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edadb-5a81-7668-811d-d00240204c4d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:47:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com, is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. Analysis indicates the site mimics Ledger’s official setup portal, presenting a page titled 'Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger®®' to deceive users into entering recovery phrases or private keys. The infrastructure is designed to facilitate crypto asset drainage, a common tactic in wallet impersonation schemes. No specific drainer kit signatures were detected in initial scans, but the domain’s structure and content align with known wallet phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, a host associated with cloud-based services. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and employs a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to create a false sense of legitimacy. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on three distinct security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) detection was noted at the time of assessment, though this may reflect a lag in propagation rather than a clean status. The domain’s creation date is not publicly disclosed, but its recent appearance on blocklists suggests it was operational for a limited window. The domain is currently offline, likely due to takedown actions or suspension by the hosting provider. Despite its inactive status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site during its operational period. Affected individuals should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions, transfer assets to a new wallet, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Organizations and security teams are advised to add the domain and its associated IP to internal blocklists to prevent future access attempts. Continuous monitoring of similar impersonation patterns is recommended, as threat actors frequently rotate domains and infrastructure to evade detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/ldger-appstarts-en.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ldger-appstarts-en.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.
