# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ledger.check-tx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 14:18:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ledger.check-tx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: OwnRegistrar, Inc. Nameservers: fish.ns.cloudflare.com, kyree.ns.cloudflare.com, null Registered: 2026-07-23 Expires: 2027-07-23 Page title: ... HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 53d91de3a135126bed565b4a647027d5eadd5ce5b09dfe228252d2e0e75b2a34 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - check-tx.com ## 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: 2026-07-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 02:10:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-27 00:16:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:20:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-27 12:00:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa0f2-0b39-727d-9db8-8d4c5330971b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bfbcc9c8-5184-4b5d-b2f6-655deb477032 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledger.check-tx.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledger.check-tx.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledger.check-tx.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledger.check-tx.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledger.check-tx.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 02:11:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ledger.check-tx.com: Confirmed Crypto Drainer Site Analysis of ledger.check-tx.com shows that the domain was registered on July 23, 2026 through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The authoritative name servers are fish.ns.cloudflare.com and kyree.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, which classifies it as a crypto‑drainer operation. VirusTotal scans have returned 11 positive detections out of 91 submitted security engines, reinforcing the malicious assessment. No additional public indicators such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title have been disclosed in the available intelligence, leaving the exact content and delivery mechanisms of the site unverified. The combination of recent registration, rapid deployment, Cloudflare name‑server usage, and multiple vendor detections suggests a purpose‑built infrastructure for illicit cryptocurrency extraction. Defenders should add the domain and its associated IP address to local deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the listed Cloudflare name servers, and ensure that any outbound connections to 188.114.96.3 are blocked or inspected. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis may reveal additional payloads or victim‑targeting techniques. Until more detailed page‑level evidence is obtained, the domain should be treated as high‑risk and actively blocked across network and endpoint security controls. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-887919 TLS cert SHA-256: 53d91de3a135126bed565b4a647027d5eadd5ce5b09dfe228252d2e0e75b2a34 ## 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.check-tx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger.check-tx.com 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.
