Brand impersonation — not the real site

Is startapp-eng.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
Fake Ledger wallet setup page on Wix Studio, confirmed phishing clone with multiple scam reports.
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 impersonates Ledger's official getting-started pages with matching titles, favicons, and content. Our fingerprinting directly matches it as a clone of ledger.com. Three independent threat feeds reported it as crypto phishing on the same day, and the hosting IP shows prior abuse reports tied to similar Wix subdomains. The domain itself is old but the subdomain pattern and lack of any legitimate business records point to abuse. These signals together override the clean browser blocklist result and confirm malicious intent.
