homedesktop-livecdn[.]wixstudio[.]com

Analysis of the domain homedesktop-livecdn.wixstudio.com indicates a confirmed brand impersonation campaign targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. The domain, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on December 17, 2016, was observed resolving to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure (AS396982) in the United States. As of July 24, 2026, the domain is offline, returning an HTTP 404 status, though it was previously flagged by PhishDestroy and appears on at least one security blocklist. The page title, 'Ledger Live Desktop® — Starting Up Your Device | Ledger,' directly aligns with Ledger’s legitimate software, suggesting an attempt to deceive users into downloading malicious versions of Ledger Live.

Five of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, reinforcing its classification as a phishing threat. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Wix, React, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3, alongside a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (R13), which is consistent with modern phishing campaigns leveraging legitimate hosting and encryption to evade detection. Nameservers (dns1.p08.nsone.net through dns4.p08.nsone.net) point to NS1, a provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains. While the domain’s creation date predates the recent surge in cryptocurrency-related phishing, its association with Ledger impersonation and detection by security vendors warrants elevated scrutiny.

Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed threat vector, particularly for users of Ledger hardware wallets. Monitoring for re-emergence or related domains on the same infrastructure (e.g., Google Cloud, Wix) is recommended. The exact content and payload delivered by the site remain unconfirmed due to its offline status, but the available evidence supports its classification as a brand impersonation phishing domain.
