Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain qfs-ledger.site as an active brand impersonation phishing campaign targeting Ledger users. This domain utilizes a fraudulent site designed to deceive victims into entering sensitive wallet credentials or payment information under the guise of a legitimate Ledger service portal. The infrastructure behind this campaign employs a drainer kit tailored to mimic Ledger’s official branding, including replicated login interfaces and transaction verification prompts, to maximize the likelihood of successful credential harvesting. The threat actor leverages urgency (e.g., fake security alerts) to prompt immediate user action, a common tactic in cryptocurrency-related phishing operations. This domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1 and was registered on May 14, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Security analysis reveals a VirusTotal detection rate of 2 out of 95 vendors as of the latest scan. The domain is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, increasing its perceived legitimacy. It has been flagged on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by the Hagezi blocklist. The domain’s recent creation date and low detection rate suggest a recently deployed campaign with potentially evolving infrastructure. As of this report, qfs-ledger.site remains active and is actively impersonating Ledger’s brand to harvest user credentials and financial data. Immediate defensive actions include blocking the domain at the network and DNS levels, especially for users in cryptocurrency and financial sectors. Ledger users should verify any unsolicited communication via official channels and avoid clicking links from unknown sources. While the current risk is elevated due to active deployment and partial evasion of detection, the domain’s low blocklist footprint and short operational history indicate it may be mitigated as it becomes more widely recognized. Users are advised to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to Ledger’s official support channels.

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/qfs-ledger.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qfs-ledger.site 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.
