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 impersonates Ledger with high confidence, using the exact title 'Ledger.com/Start - Easy Setup Guide' and copying Ledger's messaging about secure crypto management. Six major antivirus engines—BitDefender, CyRadar, Emsisoft, ESET, alphaMountain.ai, and ADMINUSLabs—classify it as phishing or malicious. The domain lledger-com-start.pages.dev was registered today (0 days old), a hallmark of throwaway phishing infrastructure. The page lacks any legitimate contact information, business registration, or social proof. The attacker hosts it on a free Pages.dev subdomain to evade detection and cost, a common phishing tactic. Combined, these signals indicate an active credential-harvesting or malware-distribution attack targeting Ledger users.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page mimics Ledger's official setup guide, using identical branding, messaging ('Your Secure Crypto Journey Starts Here'), and a call-to-action to download 'Ledger Live'. No legitimate business contact details, privacy policy, or terms of service are present. The page loads external stylesheets from legitimate CDNs (Google Fonts, Tailwind CSS) to appear polished, a common phishing tactic.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Cloudflare Pages (172.66.47.203), a free hosting service frequently abused for phishing. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by Google Trust Services, which does not indicate legitimacy—free hosting providers issue valid certificates automatically. The domain uses privacy protection disabled, suggesting the registrant is not concerned about exposure.

Domain History

Registered 0 days ago—today. The domain name 'lledger-com-start' mimics the real Ledger domain with a lowercase 'L' prefix, a homoglyph-adjacent tactic to confuse users. No legitimate business would use a free subdomain or register a domain identical to a competitor's brand.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the page as phishing or malicious. The hosting IP has zero abuse reports but is on Cloudflare's free tier, which hosts millions of legitimate and malicious sites. No independent trust aggregators have rated it (expected for a brand-new domain). Browser blocklists have not yet caught it, likely because it was created today.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines flag it as phishing or malicious, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and ESET.
  • Domain registered today (0 days old), a signature of disposable phishing infrastructure.
  • Impersonates Ledger.com with identical page title and branding on a non-official domain.
  • Hosted on free Cloudflare Pages subdomain, commonly used to evade detection and reduce attacker cost.
  • No legitimate contact information, business registration, privacy policy, or terms of service.
  • Domain name uses homoglyph-adjacent tactic ('lledger' vs 'ledger') to confuse users.
  • Page instructs users to download 'Ledger Live' from a phishing site, likely distributing malware or harvesting credentials.
Positive Signals
1
  • SSL certificate is valid and not expired.
AI Recommendation
Do not visit this site or download any software from it. If you received a link to this page, report it to Ledger's security team immediately. Always access Ledger's official setup guide directly from ledger.com in your browser, never from a link in an email or message.

Brand impersonation detected

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

  • Do not interact with lledger-com-start.pages.dev

    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.
