No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 02:35:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-01 07:20:39 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de0bd-ef5b-73cb-be71-edc4797201cd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledger-live-desktaup.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledger-live-desktaup.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledger-live-desktaup.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledger-live-desktaup.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledger-live-desktaup.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 02:37:45 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-live-desktaup.pages.dev as an active Ledger brand impersonation domain distributing a cryptocurrency drainer under the guise of a fake 'Ledger Live Desktop' setup guide. This page uses social engineering to trick users into downloading malicious software that drains crypto wallets. The threat is confirmed by the page title 'Getting Started with Ledger Live Desktop – Safe Crypto – Manage Crypto Effortlessly', which mirrors official Ledger branding to deceive visitors. Technical analysis reveals this domain resolves to IP 172.66.46.212, operates under Cloudflare's proxy infrastructure, and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services — tactics commonly used to appear legitimate while evading detection. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy's automated systems after VirusTotal scans returned 0 detections out of 95 security engines, demonstrating its current evasion of traditional antivirus protections. The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., a tactic often employed by threat actors to hide their true infrastructure. While the exact creation date remains unverified, the domain's active status indicates ongoing malicious operations. The combination of zero detections, Cloudflare's anonymizing services, and Ledger's brand exploitation creates a high-risk scenario for cryptocurrency users seeking legitimate software downloads. Users who visited this domain should immediately check their crypto wallets for unauthorized transactions and revoke any recently approved wallet connections. If you interacted with this page, disconnect your device from the internet, run a full antivirus scan, and consider transferring remaining funds to a newly generated wallet. Report this domain to PhishDestroy and Ledger's official fraud channels to help block its distribution. Always verify software sources by checking the official Ledger website (ledger.com) and confirm downloads match cryptographic signatures before installation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 722d538eed35b77e7308dbe2c4c39e334fdb67b6f7c9fb9c3218b38b3828bdd9 ## 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-live-desktaup.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger-live-desktaup.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.
