AI-Generated

The domain techhelp.ghost.io operates as a phishing site impersonating Ledger, a well-known cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. It aims to deceive users by mimicking the official Ledger website. The domain has a VirusTotal score of 3/95, indicating that it has been flagged as potentially dangerous by several security vendors.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
