# PhishDestroy threat dossier — start-legder.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 03:15:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/start-legder.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["eugene.ns.cloudflare.com", "kehlani.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-29 Expires: 2027-05-29 Page title: Index of / ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-08-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1fa78c77c8f24715efb1b758e05dbf4535fbb826174c1f3deb8bdf6fe7bf4066 ## 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: 2026-05-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-29 23:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:32:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-08 14:44:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:46:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk fake cryptocurrency wallet impersonation targeting users of the legitimate Ledger hardware wallet platform. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive victims into entering recovery phrases or private keys, enabling unauthorized access to cryptocurrency holdings. The threat type, classified as a crypto drainer variant, leverages brand impersonation to exploit trust in established wallet providers. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain start-legder.com was registered on May 29, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is currently active, hosting an open directory listing with the page title 'Index of /'. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YE1), a common certificate authority used by both legitimate and malicious actors to enable HTTPS encryption. To mitigate risks associated with this fake cryptocurrency wallet impersonation, network administrators should immediately block the domain and its resolving IP address (188.114.96.3) at the firewall or DNS level. End users should be educated to verify domain authenticity by checking for subtle misspellings (e.g., 'legder' instead of 'ledger') and confirming SSL certificates through official channels. Cryptocurrency wallet users are advised to never enter recovery phrases or private keys on any website, regardless of apparent legitimacy. Organizations should monitor for outbound connections to the domain and IP, as these may indicate successful phishing attempts or ongoing compromise. Additional scrutiny should be applied to domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, particularly those created within the last six months. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 1fa78c77c8f24715efb1b758e05dbf4535fbb826174c1f3deb8bdf6fe7bf4066 ## 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 (operator 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-legder.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=start-legder.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
