e8-ledger.net Fake Ledger Alert

The domain e8-ledger.net is actively flagged as a brand impersonation of Ledger. Technical analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 5.182.209.28, which is hosted in the Netherlands by SpectraIP B.V. The authoritative name servers are ns.pwxs.ch, ns.pwxs.me, and ns.pwxs.nl, and the registration record lists NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar. A Let's Encrypt certificate (issued to YE2) is present, but HTTP requests return a 403 Forbidden status, indicating that the web server is deliberately restricting access to its content. VirusTotal reports three out of ninety‑one security vendors flagging the domain, and the domain appears on three external blocklists. Independent threat‑intelligence feeds have already added e8-ledger.net to blocklists operated by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. While the 403 response limits immediate visibility into any malicious payloads or credential‑collection pages, the combination of brand impersonation labeling, vendor detections, and inclusion on multiple blocklists confirms a high‑risk posture. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution for e8-ledger.net and consider network‑level filtering of its associated IP address 5.182.209.28. Monitoring for additional subdomains under the same name‑server set and updating intrusion‑detection signatures to capture any future HTTP or TLS activity from this infrastructure are recommended. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the site may evolve beyond the current 403 response.
