# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-16 23:13:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: phishing_login Targeted brand: ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, ESET, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-05-14 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wixstudio.com ## 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: 2026-05-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-14 11:46:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 13:40:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 16:35:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e25a8-c00a-709c-a4d8-33dd380123b2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-14 11:47:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com as an active generic phishing domain masquerading as a Ledger Live application login portal. The campaign employs a WixStudio subdomain crafted to mimic official Ledger branding, leveraging the trust associated with legitimate crypto wallet services. No known drainer kit signatures or advanced obfuscation were detected in initial analysis, indicating a reliance on social engineering and domain similarity rather than sophisticated malware deployment. The operators appear to be testing a low-cost, high-reach phishing model targeting cryptocurrency users. Technical indicators confirm this threat remains under the radar with a VirusTotal detection ratio of 0/95 as of the latest scan. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 via a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate. While registrar and creation date data are obscured due to Wix's privacy protection, the use of a WixStudio subdomain indicates recent deployment. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and no current blocklist entries were found across leading threat intelligence platforms. This combination of evasion techniques—low detection, fresh infrastructure, and unflagged status—positions the domain as a high-potential risk for users searching for 'Ledger Live' or related wallet services. The campaign is currently active and under investigation, with no formal takedown initiated as of seed 10c44d. Immediate user action includes blocking access to startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com and reporting the domain to security teams or browser vendors such as Google Safe Browsing. The remaining risk is elevated due to the absence of detection signatures and the domain's plausible mimicry of a widely used crypto wallet platform. Users are advised to verify web addresses manually and avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails or search results related to Ledger Live. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/startapp-ldger.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startapp-ldger.wixstudio.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.
