No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-17 11:40:42 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:26:06 UTC (STALE — 26 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-24 03:00:42 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 26 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 26 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c6b5f-c876-77f7-a44a-c22b8dd70393/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dbd7d1e4-021d-43cd-8bba-7e36f5a5b548 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ledgerliveupdate.center crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ledgerliveupdate.center Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ledgerliveupdate.center AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ledgerliveupdate.center URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ledgerliveupdate.center/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 06:11:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ledgerliveupdate.center as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating the Ledger brand. The site aimed to deceive users by mimicking Ledger services but showed a 404 error page instead of legitimate content. The domain was registered via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 216.198.79.1. Despite appearing on one security blocklist and being flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, its impact appears limited. Currently, ledgerliveupdate.center is offline and no longer resolving. Users are advised to remain cautious of similar Ledger impersonation attempts and verify URLs before providing any sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260217-031FE1 Favicon SHA-256: e39f7d077f718b72dee3410ca213af1c1ef273d3b15f305b0e9d2d34bbbf2834 TLS cert SHA-256: e34a607fd93f503f016327566602202c3c1273d6a31475392e41ed45d79d78df ## 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/ledgerliveupdate.center/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ledgerliveupdate.center 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.
