No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:38:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-21 20:20:21 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-19 23:16:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ledger-live-start.app Safety Check — Ledger Brand Impersonation Analysis of the domain ledger-live-start.app indicates active brand impersonation targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. As of July 19, 2026, the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.164.226, hosted behind Cloudflare infrastructure in Canada, with nameservers arushi.ns.cloudflare.com and louis.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and presents an HTTP 403 Forbidden status, suggesting either restrictive access controls or a misconfigured phishing page. Infrastructure review confirms the domain is flagged by three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is classified as a brand impersonation scam. Two of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites leveraging Cloudflare. While the exact content of the site remains unconfirmed due to the 403 status, the domain name and known intelligence strongly suggest an intent to deceive users into believing they are interacting with Ledger’s official platform. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking or monitoring access. No evidence indicates the specific phishing kit or payload in use, and further analysis of the site’s active content is required to determine the exact attack vector. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2bcb289b5541938e2b6af5375828ab571be71db71e859262be20e1a9816f0bb0 ## 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 (operator 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-start.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger-live-start.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
