Is connect-live-us.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
A malicious Ledger Live clone hosted on a Wix subdomain that uses deceptive branding to harvest cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this site is a fraudulent clone of the legitimate ledger.com domain. It is hosted on a free Wix Studio subdomain, a common tactic for launching short-lived phishing campaigns that bypass traditional domain age filters. Multiple security engines, including alphaMountain.ai and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, have flagged the URL for phishing activity. While the root page currently shows a 404 error, our research shows it previously served pages titled 'Ledger® Live Wallet—Getting Started' to trick users into revealing sensitive data. This site is part of a known network of similar Wix-hosted crypto scams.
