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.

Confidence
The page sits on iostart-ledgeapp.wixstudio.com and carries the exact naming pattern used by other documented Ledger impersonators. Four antivirus engines — Cluster25, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Webroot — flag the URL as phishing or malicious. The same Google Cloud IP hosts several other flagged subdomains that appear in blocklists and phishing feeds. The domain itself is nine years old, but the subdomain is a fresh user-created site with no business registration. Evidence from phishdestroy.io and urlquery.net explicitly lists this URL among Ledger Live phishing campaigns. The combination of brand impersonation, engine detections, and shared malicious infrastructure outweighs the clean browser blocklist status.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The screenshot shows a Wix Studio 404 error page, yet the URL path and subdomain name both point to a Ledger Live start/login flow. The operator chose the string "iostart-ledgeapp" to mimic legitimate Ledger wallet onboarding pages. No legitimate business content or contact details appear.

Infrastructure

The site resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 on Google Cloud. That IP carries an abuse score of 32/100 and 21 prior abuse reports. The same IP is shared with other wixstudio.com subdomains already listed in phishing blocklists. SSL is issued by Let's Encrypt and valid for another 74 days.

Domain History

The parent domain wixstudio.com was registered on 2016-12-17 through GoDaddy and is 9.6 years old. The specific subdomain iostart-ledgeapp is a recent user-created site with no business registration records found in any jurisdiction.

Web Reputation

Three separate reports on phishdestroy.io and urlquery.net tie this exact subdomain to Ledger wallet phishing. The same sources document a cluster of similar wixstudio.com subdomains used for the same campaign. No positive reviews or legitimate business mentions exist on independent review aggregators.

What this means for you

Do not enter any wallet credentials, seed phrases, or personal information on this page. The combination of brand impersonation, engine detections, and confirmed phishing reports indicates an active credential-harvesting operation.

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead

Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.
