Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has detected ledger.com.lc as a high-risk malicious domain impersonating the Ledger brand. Though currently offline, this fraudulent site posed a significant danger by attempting to deceive users into believing they were interacting with a legitimate Ledger service. Users should remain cautious of domains mimicking trusted brands, as these tactics often lead to credential theft or financial loss. This phishing campaign leveraged a close variation of the official Ledger domain to trick victims. Despite returning a 403 Forbidden page at the time of analysis, the domain’s history and presence on multiple security blocklists indicate previous malicious activity targeting Ledger users. VirusTotal flagged this domain by 15 out of 95 security vendors, reinforcing the suspicion of a sophisticated attempt at brand impersonation. If you have visited ledger.com.lc, it is crucial to immediately change any passwords or recovery phrases you may have entered and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Avoid interacting with unsolicited communications referencing Ledger and verify URLs carefully before submitting sensitive information. For ongoing protection, consider enabling two-factor authentication and using trusted cybersecurity tools to stay informed about emerging threats. ## 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.com.lc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledger.com.lc 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.
