Brand impersonation — not the real site
2 of 92 antivirus engines flag this page. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is guard-desktop.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
Phishing clone of Ledger Live Desktop wallet login on Wix Studio, flagged by scam trackers and antivirus engines as a credential-harvesting 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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site is a subdomain of wixstudio.com set up to mimic the official Ledger Live Desktop login page. The strongest evidence comes from multiple scam reports explicitly identifying it as an active fake login portal for stealing crypto wallet credentials. ESET and Gridinsoft both flagged the page as phishing. It forms part of a pattern of similar *-desktop.wixstudio.com subdomains targeting Ledger users. The page now shows a 404 after rapid takedown, but the original purpose was clearly malicious. No legitimate business or reviews are associated with this subdomain.
