## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

  - www.starterhomeledger.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: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-23 01:27:59 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-19 10:21:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy analysts identified starterhomeledger.com as a domain actively impersonating the Ledger brand, currently under investigation for brand impersonation tactics. This domain exhibits classic hallmarks of a cryptocurrency drainer kit, with UI elements and functionality designed to deceive users into connecting their wallets under false pretenses. The threat actor leverages stolen branding to establish credibility and facilitate unauthorized fund transfers.  This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection ratio of 0 out of 95 engines as of the latest scan, indicating a low initial detection rate despite its malicious intent. Registered through NAMECHEAP INC on March 23, 2026, the domain resolves to IP address 185.199.109.153 and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain remains unflagged by Google Safe Browsing and has not been listed on major threat blocklists at this time.  Current status of this domain is marked as 'active' with a risk level categorized as 'under_investigation'. Immediate response actions include continued monitoring for changes in infrastructure or behavior, as well as collaboration with hosting providers and registrars to mitigate further abuse. The remaining risk is considered elevated due to the domain's recent registration, lack of blocklist coverage, and the high potential for user deception given the targeted brand. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and report any suspicious activity to their security teams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      62f2c0f956a5e909ca748209b77e847394fac7784dd17b07beab43bcb17800ba

## 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.
