## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-19 04:32:27 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 crypto wallet users through ldger-com-start-web.pages.dev. The domain replicates Ledger's verification portal under the guise of 'Get Started with Ledger - Ledger.com/start,' attempting to harvest sensitive credentials under the pretense of a mandatory wallet setup. This tactic exploits user trust in Ledger's brand to bypass traditional phishing skepticism. The threat remains under investigation as analysts assess the full scope of its infrastructure and potential payload distribution vectors.  This domain exhibits numerous red flags consistent with malicious impersonation campaigns. It resolves to IP 172.66.44.202 via Cloudflare's Pages service, leveraging the platform's legitimate infrastructure to obscure its origins. Currently showing 0/95 detections on VirusTotal despite weeks of activity, the domain maintains a clean reputation score while exploiting Google Trust Services' SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The Cloudflare registration through registrar ID 000000000 (Cloudflare, Inc.) provides no useful attribution, while the impersonation of Ledger.com/start—Ledger's actual verification domain—reveals clear malicious intent. No known blocklist entries exist for this domain at present, creating an undetected threat vector.  Users must immediately block ldger-com-start-web.pages.dev at DNS/network levels and avoid any crypto wallet verification prompts outside of Ledger's official domains (ledger.com or ledger.com/start). Organizations should update proxy filters with IP 172.66.44.202 and the Cloudflare Pages ASN range. Critical guidance includes verifying all wallet setup URLs directly through Ledger's browser extension or mobile app, never via third-party links. Incident responders should prioritize wildcard blocking for *.pages.dev domains associated with crypto brands while monitoring for similar impersonation patterns. Early intervention remains crucial as this campaign continues evolving without detection system coverage.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 8/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      0b7ab2459ffc98a34c213a1b4c5ca69a1f8b94ac79683fdc0d7a623c71b790aa

## 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.
