No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 21:28:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-03 19:03:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-04 13:40:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019def18-415c-743a-8622-4abc9addffb9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/58010996-04fe-4d2c-8716-a429724a3f02 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledgerdesktops.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledgerdesktops.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledgerdesktops.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledgerdesktops.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledgerdesktops.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 21:29:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ledgerdesktops.live as an active crypto drainer domain currently under investigation, posing as a legitimate Ledger Desktop application installer. This domain exhibits several red flags: it was registered on April 28, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. It currently shows 0/95 detections on VirusTotal and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, though it remains absent from most blocklists. The low detection rate suggests this threat may be newly deployed or employs evasion tactics to avoid signature-based detection. Users should avoid downloading any software from this domain or clicking associated links. For Ledger-related downloads, always verify using official channels (ledger.com) or trusted repositories. If interaction has occurred, immediately revoke wallet permissions and transfer assets to a new wallet with updated security settings. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for further analysis and potential takedown. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-FB962A Favicon MD5: e77d6e15aaa797a66863f59181f9b1ab TLS cert SHA-256: 60e4c1825873b8970f8b024ae825986f7a3e4cdc2f5a0e0c7df6f1c624c5b1bb ## 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/ledgerdesktops.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledgerdesktops.live 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.
