# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 13:12:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger® ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-01 21:11:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 21:11:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 16:45:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8462-0459-73de-812d-0a20b098810c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:44:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com, presents an elevated-risk phishing threat through brand impersonation targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. The page mimics the legitimate Ledger.com/Start onboarding portal, using an identical page title—"Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger®"—to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials or recovery phrases. Such impersonation campaigns are commonly used to compromise cryptocurrency wallets by harvesting seed phrases under the guise of account verification or device setup procedures. Analysis indicates the domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on infrastructure associated with a known content delivery platform. It is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and employs a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The domain is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on three distinct security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The use of Wix as a hosting platform, combined with React and Google Cloud CDN technologies, suggests an attempt to leverage reputable services to evade initial detection while maintaining operational scalability. Users who accessed started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com should assume potential exposure of sensitive information, particularly cryptocurrency wallet credentials. Immediate actions include revoking any entered recovery phrases, monitoring associated wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions, and rotating credentials for any accounts linked to the interaction. Additionally, affected individuals should review connected devices for signs of compromise and report the incident to relevant security teams for further mitigation. The domain has since been taken offline, but similar campaigns may persist using comparable infrastructure or branding tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 ## 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/started-ledgeapps.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-ledgeapps.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.
