# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 12:03:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: 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 Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: Official® | Lédger.com/Start® | Getting Started™ HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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: 2026-06-28 13:36:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 12:08:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e03-11ac-706d-813b-cfc5a8d6fd60/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f62bf35e-8b01-48a7-a4eb-c35840ca2594 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:01:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com, is flagged as a generic phishing resource targeting users of Ledger Live, a cryptocurrency wallet management platform. Analysis indicates the domain mimics legitimate content delivery network (CDN) infrastructure, likely to distribute phishing pages or malicious payloads under the guise of official Ledger services. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed at this stage, though the domain's structure and naming convention suggest an intent to deceive users into believing it is part of Ledger's legitimate CDN. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on December 17, 2016, through a major registrar and currently resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. It holds a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it as malicious at the time of assessment. However, the domain appears on one security blocklist, and its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1). Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, but the domain's age and lack of widespread detections may contribute to its evasion of automated detection systems. As of the latest assessment, startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com remains active and under investigation. No takedown actions have been observed, and the domain continues to resolve to its assigned IP address. The primary risk lies in its potential to host phishing pages or malware targeting Ledger Live users, leveraging the domain's apparent legitimacy to bypass user scrutiny. Organizations and individuals are advised to block traffic to this domain at the network level and monitor for any associated indicators of compromise (IOCs), such as unusual outbound connections to 34.144.206.118 or related subdomains. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-45E3C6 Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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/startsapps-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startsapps-ledzercdn.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.
