Evidence Summary

CRITICAL
Evidence score
88/100

Analysis of the domain ledger-com-start.icu indicates active malicious infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3, which is presently listed on three independent security blocklists. Reputation services have taken notice: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL have each added the domain to their blocklists, reflecting a consensus that the site is being used to lure victims into unauthorized cryptocurrency transactions.

VirusTotal scans show that two of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent despite the low detection count. No additional public data on the registrar, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing status is currently available, and the page title has not been disclosed in the intelligence feed. Consequently, the exact appearance of the site and the specific social engineering tactics employed remain uncertain.

defenders should block network resolution to 188.114.96.3, add ledger-com-start.icu to local deny lists, and monitor outbound traffic for anomalous cryptocurrency transfers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further indicators, such as additional vendor detections or forensic snapshots of the site, become available.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
