Phishing subdomain impersonating Ledger Live, flagged by ESET, Fortinet and Forcepoint.
Is appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
Phishing subdomain impersonating Ledger Live, flagged by ESET, Fortinet and Forcepoint.
This is a phishing page impersonating Ledger Live. Three security engines flagged it as phishing, the subdomain name is crafted to mimic the official app, and independent researchers have identified it as a crypto phishing site.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Intelligence
The URL appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com is a subdomain hosted on Wix Studio that deliberately mimics Ledger Live, the official wallet software for Ledger hardware devices. Three antivirus engines — ESET, Fortinet, and Forcepoint — independently flagged the page as phishing. The evidence package confirms the subdomain name is designed to deceive Web3 users and that wixstudio.com subdomains are frequently abused for this purpose. The page currently returns a 404 error, which is consistent with a campaign that may rotate or take the site offline after detection. The hosting IP carries 21 abuse reports, adding further weight to the malicious classification.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com is a dangerous scam site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for phishing and clone site. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (3 as outright malicious). The domain is 9.6 years old through GoDaddy.com, LLC. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com scored just 2/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com, 3 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com is 9.6 years old, registered on December 17, 2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 22, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about appsledgerlive.wixstudio.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
