# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ledger-live.pw ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-18 00:24:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ledger-live.pw/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/95 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.174.229.91 (SG, Singapore) ASN: AS139341 ACE Hosting org: ACE Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com Registered: 2026-05-10 Page title: ledger-live.pw HTTP response: 444 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. / TrustAsia DV TLS RSA CA 2025 Expires: 2026-08-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 64aa3469ceea9b15ed627ef12960311648145a0359d085dcc469848953eb7db1 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-17 22:54:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-18 03:17:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-18 02:16:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3780-dc72-7195-9f33-48d894158823/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledger-live.pw crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledger-live.pw Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledger-live.pw AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledger-live.pw URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledger-live.pw/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-17 22:55:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy assesses ledger-live.pw as an active brand-impersonation threat under investigation, posing a high risk to cryptocurrency users seeking Ledger Live downloads. The domain is specifically designed to mimic Ledger’s legitimate services and harvest wallet credentials or private keys, resulting in potential financial loss. This domain was flagged on VirusTotal with 0 detections out of 95 scanners, is registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolves to IP 43.174.229.91, and holds an SSL certificate issued by TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. The domain was created on May 10, 2026, indicating it is very new and likely part of a rapid campaign. Despite no current blocklist entries, the absence of detections and fresh registration timeline suggest it is actively evading detection. To mitigate this threat, users should avoid visiting ledger-live.pw entirely and verify any Ledger-related links directly through ledger.com. Enable multi-factor authentication on Ledger accounts and use official desktop or mobile applications only. Report the domain to security teams and update browser blocklists to prevent future visits. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 64aa3469ceea9b15ed627ef12960311648145a0359d085dcc469848953eb7db1 ## 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.pw/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger-live.pw 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.
