## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      178.16.54.12 (NL, Amsterdam)

Issuer:     R11
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 14:59:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies us-ledger.to as a high-risk generic phishing domain that posed a significant threat to online users. Phishing campaigns using this domain aimed to deceive victims into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details. The malicious activity associated with this domain underscores the ongoing risk phishing sites present to individuals and organizations, emphasizing the need for vigilance when encountering unfamiliar URLs.

The domain us-ledger.to was registered on February 21, 2026, and quickly attracted attention due to its malicious behavior. It appeared on four distinct security blocklists and was flagged by multiple security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread recognition of its threat. AlienVault OTX intelligence also linked the domain to 14 separate threat pulses, confirming its active use in phishing operations. The domain has since been taken offline, likely disrupting the phishing campaigns it supported. Its registration status is now classified as a dead domain, signaling that it is no longer active or operational.

Users should remain cautious of any communications or links referencing us-ledger.to or similar suspicious domains. It is critical to avoid clicking on unknown URLs, especially those received via unsolicited emails or messages, and to verify the authenticity of websites before entering sensitive information. Security teams should update their blocklists and detection tools to include this domain to prevent potential future abuse if the domain becomes active again or if similar infrastructure emerges. Staying informed and cautious remains the best defense against phishing threats.

## 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.
