ledger-live-desktop-auth-start[.]pages[.]dev

Analysis of ledger-live-desktop-auth-start.pages.dev indicates a confirmed crypto‑related brand impersonation campaign targeting Ledger users. The domain was registered on 22 March 2026 and is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (IP 188.114.96.3, located in Canada). DNS resolution uses Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers celine.ns.cloudflare.com and coleman.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site presented an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, confirming the use of a valid TLS chain. HTTP responses return a 403 status code, and the site advertised the page title “Ledger Live Desktop - Secure Crypto Management App”, matching the declared scam type “Crypto Scam” and the impersonated brand Ledger.

Infrastructure analysis shows the site employed HSTS and HTTP/3, typical of modern web services, further lending an appearance of legitimacy. Reputation services flag the domain aggressively: Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, PhishDestroy has already taken the domain offline, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. VirusTotal scans reported 11 of 94 antivirus engines flagging the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion.

Given the combination of a low trust score, active blocklist entries, and multiple vendor detections, defenders should enforce network‑level blocks for the exact domain and its resolving IP address, include the associated nameservers in DNS‑sinkhole policies, and monitor Cloudflare‑hosted assets for new subdomains that may reuse the same branding. Continuous telemetry from endpoint protection should be tuned to alert on any attempts to resolve or contact this domain, and incident response teams should educate users about unexpected Ledger‑related login prompts, especially those referencing “Ledger Live Desktop”. Although the site is currently offline, the registration pattern and infrastructure suggest a reusable template that could be redeployed, so proactive controls are recommended.
