## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-21 14:28:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ledgerlivedesktop.us as an active brand-impersonation domain targeting Ledger users for crypto-drainer theft.  

This domain (created April 08, 2026) resolves to IP 43.174.241.1 and remains undetected on VirusTotal, scoring 0 of 95 detections so far. It is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and leverages a TrustAsia SSL certificate to appear legitimate. No public blocklists currently list the domain, and its low trust score heightens risk of real-world compromise.  

Mitigation steps specific to brand-impersonation crypto drainers include blocking the domain and IP at DNS/firewall layers, disabling Ledger downloads from third-party sites, and educating users to only use official Ledger URLs verified via multiple sources. Monitor for new detection signatures as threat intelligence evolves.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260521-3DA813
Favicon MD5:       e77d6e15aaa797a66863f59181f9b1ab
TLS cert SHA-256:      5b81558d64f92ab23e366d46c30ada1d9fd0dfd0ce107c67311e7d8cafa8c58c

## 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.
