No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-25 17:52:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:08:05 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2579-ddb9-712f-ac07-785100e97e68/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-25 17:55:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev as an active phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate desktop software installer. This site leverages Cloudflare Pages to host a convincing replica of a well-known application’s download portal, tricking users into downloading malicious payloads under the guise of routine software updates. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and operates under a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, adding superficial legitimacy to its lures. Security teams should treat this as a high-priority threat due to its potential to compromise endpoints through trojanized installers or credential harvesting forms embedded within the fake download flow. Technical analysis of start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev reveals critical red flags despite its polished appearance. According to VirusTotal scans, the domain currently sits at 0/95 detections, indicating it has evaded detection by most antivirus engines at the time of analysis. Registered through Cloudflare, Inc., the domain leverages the company’s Pages platform to rapidly deploy and cycle infrastructure, making takedowns more challenging. While the SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services may appear trustworthy, it only confirms domain ownership, not the safety of the hosted content. The absence of current blocklist entries suggests this campaign may be newly operational or carefully managed to avoid early detection, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring and behavioral analysis rather than relying solely on signature-based defenses. Users who accessed this domain should immediately disconnect from the internet and run a full antivirus scan using updated definitions. Check for unauthorized software installations, especially in system directories, and verify the legitimacy of any recently added applications by cross-referencing official vendor websites. If credentials were entered into the fake installer page, assume they may have been compromised and initiate a password reset procedure, enabling multi-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to your security team or through platforms like Google Safe Browsing and PhishTank to help disrupt the campaign. Given the domain’s active status and low detection rate, treat any interaction as a potential security incident and monitor for signs of lateral movement or data exfiltration. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6af6fdee89d4620fea1be1ea8e9da7c7cc4987012af14751a94848cc71e53f8e ## 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/start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=start-ldgar-desktop.pages.dev 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.
