================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-29 05:26:56 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startedledgercdn.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:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:21:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-08 18:31:37 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:11:23 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 assessed as elevated risk brand impersonation infrastructure targeting Ledger users. The hostname startedledgercdn.wixstudio.com is designed to resemble official ledger-related CDN or onboarding services, a pattern consistent with fake login portals used to capture wallet credentials or recovery phrases. The infrastructure likely supports social engineering flows that redirect victims from messaging or ads toward credential entry pages mimicking legitimate authentication screens. The system has been taken offline, indicating disruption after detection by security monitoring pipelines.

Technical intelligence attributes multiple independent indicators: VirusTotal reports 6/95 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating early-stage but confirmed malicious classification. The domain was registered via GoDaddy.com, LLC and created on June 08 2026, consistent with recently deployed phishing infrastructure. It appears on 1 security blocklist and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The impersonation target is Ledger, a known cryptocurrency hardware wallet brand, increasing financial theft risk. Such infrastructure commonly leverages trusted hosting platforms to increase perceived legitimacy.

If users interacted with this domain, compromise should be treated as high severity. Recommended actions include immediately migrating any exposed wallet credentials, revoking compromised sessions, and transferring digital assets to a newly generated secure wallet. Users should also assume potential seed phrase exposure and avoid reuse of any passwords entered. A full device security scan is advised to detect potential malware or browser-based credential theft. Security teams should block the domain and monitor for related Wix Studio subdomains, GoDaddy-registered lookalikes, and Let’s Encrypt certificates combined with Ledger brand impersonation patterns.

## 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.
