# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 12:58:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startio-ledzerstart.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: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections 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 Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger®® ## 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 14:59:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:38:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:45:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed082-ea2c-7382-b692-25b62df9178c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d61c1e35-db78-4b20-a4ff-3716b65be94a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:41:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com, poses as the official Ledger start page to deceive users into entering sensitive cryptocurrency wallet credentials. The site is designed to mimic the legitimate Ledger.com/Start portal, potentially leading to unauthorized access or theft of digital assets. The page title explicitly replicates the branding of Ledger, including registered trademark symbols, to enhance its appearance of authenticity and trick victims into disclosing recovery phrases or private keys. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on December 17, 2016, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. Security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain at a rate of 12 out of 95, reflecting a high level of detection and concern. The site appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which while common for legitimate sites, is frequently exploited by malicious actors to lend a false sense of security. If a user has visited startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com and entered any credentials or recovery phrases, immediate action is required. Disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further data transmission. Reset all credentials associated with cryptocurrency wallets, including passwords and recovery phrases, using a separate, secure device. Monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized activity and consider transferring assets to a new wallet with fresh credentials. Report the incident to relevant security teams and consider notifying local cybercrime authorities to aid in tracking the infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-594DB3 Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 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/startio-ledzerstart.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startio-ledzerstart.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.
