## ANALYST NARRATIVE

ledgerupgrade.com — Crypto Drainer Investigation

Analysis of ledgerupgrade.com shows a newly created domain (registered July 14, 2026) that is currently active and associated with a crypto drainer campaign. The zone is hosted on Cloudflare, using the nameservers daisy.ns.cloudflare.com and lynn.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Registration was performed through OwnRegistrar, Inc. The threat classification as a crypto drainer is derived from the supplied intelligence; no additional content or page analysis is available at this time, so the specific tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the actors remain unknown. The domain has been submitted to VirusTotal and examined by 91 scanning engines, none of which reported a detection; however, the absence of a detection does not constitute evidence of benign intent. Defenders should treat the domain as hostile, implement DNS-level blocking or sink‑holing for 188.114.96.3 and the associated Cloudflare nameservers, and monitor network flows for attempts to contact the domain or initiate cryptocurrency transactions. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any emerging indicators of compromise linked to this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-899826
TLS cert SHA-256:      b80f72da21de7360b90bcbacff3adbee564b3318af12ee65bf3c5d2254c80ca9

## 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.
