Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pqc-ledger.gd as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Ledger. This fraudulent website poses as the legitimate cryptocurrency wallet provider to deceive users into revealing sensitive login credentials or financial information. This domain was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors for malicious activity. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to IP address 104.21.19.150, and has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. It was created on May 10, 2026, and currently appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically blocked by Hagezi. The site's trust scores are critically low due to its recent creation and high-risk indicators. As of current analysis, pqc-ledger.gd remains an active threat and should be treated as a high-risk impersonation domain. Users who encounter this site are advised to avoid interacting with it entirely. Ledger users should verify any website claims through official channels and enable multi-factor authentication on their accounts. System administrators are urged to block this domain at the network level using up-to-date threat intelligence feeds. Any accounts accessed through this domain should be considered compromised, and users must change passwords and monitor for unauthorized transactions immediately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 TLS cert SHA-256: 60090b468d7b8f8ddca818d0b08ff80efae6ebc849570846972feb97e818304b ## 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/pqc-ledger.gd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pqc-ledger.gd 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.
