Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies setup-ledgerlive.com as a fraudulent domain actively impersonating Ledger's official wallet setup interface to deceive users into exposing recovery phrases or private keys. This domain mimics the legitimate Ledger Live setup process, tricking victims into believing they are configuring a genuine hardware wallet. The page is designed to harvest sensitive cryptocurrency credentials under the guise of an authentic installation or update process, posing an immediate risk to digital asset security. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but significant detection. It was registered on March 23, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and currently resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate adds a false veneer of legitimacy, increasing the likelihood of user deception. Its recent creation date suggests an opportunistic campaign likely timing with user demand for wallet setup guidance. If you visited setup-ledgerlive.com, immediately cease any interaction and disconnect from the site. Do not enter any recovery phrases, passwords, or seed phrases. Clear your browser cache and run a full antivirus scan. Report the domain to Ledger’s official abuse channels and your local cybersecurity authority. Avoid relying solely on visual SSL indicators—verify URLs through official Ledger communication channels only. Always access Ledger services via ledger.com to ensure authenticity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: cdc64ca1b2fc613f5c964f5fe26e7868ba8b0ede05b9ac81b08d8f7ec4028216 ## 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/setup-ledgerlive.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=setup-ledgerlive.com 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.
