# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ledger---start.pages.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 04:36:53 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ledger---start.pages.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: cameron.ns.cloudflare.com, sima.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-22 Page title: Ledger® Quick Start™ — Official Walkthrough | Secure Crypto Setup ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 242f87c71b7bbbd11decfdd387716518d9b6dd0d296250bb58f0f04ea75f6347 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-22 00:59:27 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration) Last verified: 2026-04-22 19:40:30 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d1267-2768-76bc-8375-6a79b3b5a1e2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledger---start.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledger---start.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledger---start.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledger---start.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledger---start.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:15:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ledger---start.pages.dev as a suspicious domain involved in generic phishing activities. It masquerades as an official Ledger walkthrough site titled "Ledger® Quick Start™ — Official Walkthrough | Secure Crypto Setup" to deceive users seeking cryptocurrency setup guidance. This deceptive branding aims to exploit trust in Ledger’s secure crypto products to harvest sensitive user credentials. Technically, the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., which may be used to obscure the hosting origin. Despite its phishing classification, no antivirus or threat detection engines have flagged this domain on VirusTotal (0/95 detections), suggesting the phishing site is either newly deployed or designed to evade current automated detections. The domain uses a Cloudflare-protected pages.dev subdomain to lend a façade of legitimacy. Currently, this domain remains active and under investigation by PhishDestroy. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with ledger---start.pages.dev and not to input any personal or financial information. Verification of Ledger’s official website and communication channels is crucial to prevent potential credential theft. Continued monitoring and further threat intelligence gathering are underway to assess the full impact and to support takedown efforts if necessary. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 242f87c71b7bbbd11decfdd387716518d9b6dd0d296250bb58f0f04ea75f6347 ## 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/ledger---start.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger---start.pages.dev 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.
