# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shieldeddledger.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 21:46:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shieldeddledger.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.81.188 Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns17.asurahosting.com", "ns18.asurahosting.com"] Registered: 2026-03-26 Expires: 2027-03-26 Page title: WEB3 WALLET Backup Wallet ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: aa9b86a23892674dc9957ddc9d59ae30a309d39c4b1ac1dee25ac4380b939847 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 07:13:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 05:14:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:19:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eaacb-9cd8-77c7-9c22-0db86adf970b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c2d32428-73cd-4803-a141-68dda0442fd9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shieldeddledger.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shieldeddledger.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shieldeddledger.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shieldeddledger.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shieldeddledger.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 12:35:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies shieldeddledger.com as a domain that impersonates Ledger, specifically a brand impersonation threat, and is currently offline. This domain was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating potential malicious activity, and was registered through Dynadot Inc, resolving to IP 198.251.81.188, with a unique identifier of 87a918, and has been taken offline. The current status of shieldeddledger.com is offline, and users are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering similar domains, and to verify the authenticity of websites on PhishDestroy, as brand impersonation can lead to significant financial losses, and it is essential to prioritize online safety and security by being vigilant and taking proactive measures to protect oneself from such threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260609-79E33E Favicon MD5: 91b51f57476a7188ca8e5a50c1ade669 TLS cert SHA-256: aa9b86a23892674dc9957ddc9d59ae30a309d39c4b1ac1dee25ac4380b939847 ## 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/shieldeddledger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shieldeddledger.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.
