v1-ledger[.]co[.]com

Analysis of v1-ledger.co.com indicates a high-risk brand impersonation campaign targeting Ledger, a cryptocurrency wallet provider. The domain, now offline, was flagged by 12 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on four independent blocklists, including PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. Infrastructure review reveals the domain resolved to 144.31.194.100, hosted on AS199785 (Cloud Hosting Solutions, Limited) in Germany, with no SSL certificate present. Nameservers were configured as a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, and c.dnspod.com, a pattern consistent with domains registered through DNSPod services.

The page title, 'Ledger Live Download - Crypto Wallet App Official,' directly mimics Ledger’s legitimate software distribution page, aligning with the reported scam type of wallet/seed phishing. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing the domain’s malicious classification. While the exact content of the site remains unanalyzed, the combination of domain naming, page title, and scam type confirms intent to deceive users into disclosing wallet recovery seeds or installing malicious software.

Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious and prioritize blocking both the domain and its resolved IP. Given the absence of SSL and the use of a known bulletproof hosting provider, further monitoring of related infrastructure (AS199785, DNSPod nameservers) is recommended to identify potential resurgence or similar campaigns. No registration or creation dates were provided, limiting temporal analysis of the domain’s lifecycle.
