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

This domain, start-ledger-live.pages.dev, is confirmed as a brand impersonation site specifically targeting Ethereum users through the fraudulent replication of official hardware wallet management software. Analysis indicates the site was operational until recently taken offline, presenting itself as a legitimate download portal for cryptocurrency wallet management tools. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation with potential secondary risks of crypto asset theft or malware distribution. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on August 11, 2025, and resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted under AS13335 in the United States. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common characteristic of both legitimate and malicious sites leveraging Cloudflare infrastructure. Security vendors flagged the domain in 19 of 95 VirusTotal scans, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. The page title, 'Ledger Live Download - Secure Hardware Wallet Management,' directly mimics the branding of a well-known hardware wallet provider, reinforcing the impersonation threat. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or hosting provider intervention. However, the infrastructure and registration patterns suggest the operators may attempt to re-establish the campaign under a different domain or subdomain. Users who accessed this site should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions, scan their devices for malware, and verify the authenticity of any downloaded software. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and monitor for similar impersonation attempts targeting cryptocurrency-related services.
