# ledger-live-desktop-start.pages.dev — SUSPICIOUS

> ledger-live-desktop-start.pages.dev impersonates Ledger to distribute malware. Avoid downloads from this Cloudflare-hosted domain—currently undetected by 95.

## Summary
PhishDestroy identifies ledger-live-desktop-start.pages.dev as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Ledger users. This domain poses a high-risk threat by masquerading as the official Ledger Live Desktop application to deceive users into downloading malicious software.  
This domain was flagged for impersonating the Ledger brand and remains under investigation as of the latest analysis. Key technical indicators include a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/95 scanners, indicating it has evaded automated malware detection systems. It resolves to IP address 172.66.45.22, which is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., a common service used by threat actors to obfuscate origin and infrastructure. The domain operates under SSL encryption provided by Google Trust Services, further enhancing its legitimacy to unsuspecting users. While the exact registration date is not disclosed in the provided intelligence, the combination of Cloudflare hosting and zero detections suggests recent deployment with high evasion potential. Additionally, the domain’s use of a `.pages.dev` subdomain under Cloudflare Pages increases its deceptive credibility by mimicking official developer domains.  
To mitigate the risk posed by ledger-live-desktop-start.pages.dev, users must avoid downloading any software from this domain. Ledger users should only obtain the Ledger Live application directly from the official website (ledger.com) or verified app stores. If interaction with this domain has already occurred, immediately disconnect from the internet, run a full antivirus scan, and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to Ledger’s fraud team and submit it to threat intelligence platforms such as VirusTotal, URLVoid, or PhishTank. Organizations should consider blocking the IP 172.66.45.22 and the domain at the network level to prevent further exposure. Continuous monitoring of SSL certificates and newly registered impersonation domains is strongly recommended to prevent similar threats.
