Is guide-starten.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
A malicious Ledger.com clone hosted on Wix Studio that targets cryptocurrency users to steal their private recovery phrases.
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.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this site is a fraudulent clone of the legitimate Ledger.com hardware wallet interface. Multiple security engines, including ESET and alphaMountain.ai, have blacklisted the domain for phishing activities. The site uses a Wix Studio subdomain to bypass basic filters and has been reported to threat databases for harvesting seed phrases. While the root page currently shows a 404 error, specific sub-paths like /us-en remain active in phishing feeds. This is a classic credential-harvesting pattern used to drain crypto assets.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for guide-starten.wixstudio.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is a Wix Studio subdomain (guide-starten.wixstudio.com), with /us-en variant actively listed on PhishTank as an unverified online suspected phishing page since June 20, 2026.
- urlquery.net reports show it serving content with title referencing "Ledger.com" and was scanned on June 20, 2026.
- Part of a pattern: dozens of similar *.wixstudio.com domains (e.g. livestarten.wixstudio.com, ledgerapp.wixstudio.com, startledgrw.wixstudio.com) created to mimic official Ledger.com/start hardware wallet initialization and Ledger Live page
- Phishing reports and GitHub issues document Wix Studio-hosted pages imitating Ledger to steal recovery phrases/seed phrases or credentials.
- Root domain https://guide-starten.wixstudio.com currently returns 404; phishing variant /us-en was reported and remains listed as online in threat databases.
- Wix itself publishes guidance on identifying and reporting phishing sites hosted on its platform.
- No legitimate business info, reviews, or registration found; domain age of ~9.5 years likely refers to the Wix platform, not this specific subdomain.
