# PhishDestroy threat dossier — starttedledger.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 03:36:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/starttedledger.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 Page title: Official Site® — Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started® ## 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 05:19:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-08 18:31:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 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 01:10:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain starttedledger.wixstudio.com has been identified as a brand_impersonation threat targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. Analysis confirms the domain hosted a fraudulent onboarding portal titled 'Official Site® — Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started®,' designed to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials or recovery phrases under the guise of legitimate setup procedures. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity warrants continued monitoring. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 08, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential manipulation of registration records. The domain appears on three security blocklists: PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. VirusTotal detection metrics indicate 6 of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Technologies detected include Wix as the hosting platform, alongside Envoy, React, Google Cloud, Lodash, HSTS, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3, which collectively mirror the technical stack of legitimate web applications, complicating manual detection. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, though residual risk persists due to the potential for reactivation or migration to alternative infrastructure. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for related subdomains or newly registered lookalike domains. Users who may have interacted with the domain should revoke any associated credentials, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and verify wallet integrity through official channels. Security teams should treat this domain as part of a broader campaign, correlating indicators with other known Ledger impersonation attempts to identify patterns in registrar, hosting provider, or SSL certificate usage. ## 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/starttedledger.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=starttedledger.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.
