# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 07:52:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE 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® HTTP response: 404 ## 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 21:13:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 21:13:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 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/019e8463-5fcf-73b8-a767-3e98a4974123/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:49:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com has been identified as a high-risk phishing infrastructure specifically targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. This domain engages in brand impersonation, presenting itself as an official Ledger onboarding portal with the page title "Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started — Ledger®." As of the latest analysis, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity indicates a deliberate attempt to deceive users into divulging sensitive credentials or financial information. Analysis of the domain reveals multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread detection as a phishing threat. It appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, further corroborating its malicious classification. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolved to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. The SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. Technologies detected on the domain include Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN, suggesting the use of legitimate hosting and content delivery services to obfuscate its true nature. Given the current offline status of startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com, immediate interaction risks are mitigated. However, organizations and individuals should remain vigilant, as threat actors frequently repurpose or re-register similar domains. It is recommended to block the domain and its associated IP address (34.144.206.118) at the network level to prevent potential future access. Users who may have interacted with this domain should immediately reset credentials for any associated accounts, particularly those tied to cryptocurrency wallets or financial services. Monitoring for further activity from this threat actor is advised, as brand impersonation campaigns often persist across multiple domains and infrastructure. ## 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 (operator 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/startscom-ledzercdn.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startscom-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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
