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.

Our analysis confirms this site is part of a large-scale phishing campaign targeting Ledger wallet users. The domain uses a typosquatted name, 'ledgr', and mimics the official 'ledger.com/start' URL structure to appear legitimate. Both ESET and alphaMountain.ai have explicitly flagged this URL as a phishing threat. While the page currently shows a 404 error, this is a common sign of a scam site that has been recently taken down or moved after being reported. Our fingerprinting tools also identified it as a direct clone of the official Ledger site.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is designed to look like the official setup page for Ledger hardware wallets. It uses the 'startcdn' and 'ledgr' keywords to deceive users who are looking for the official 'Ledger Start' application.

Infrastructure

The page is hosted as a subdomain on the Wix Studio platform. This is a common tactic for scammers to bypass basic filters by leveraging the reputation of a major hosting provider.

Domain History

While the parent domain is old, this specific subdomain is part of a 2026 surge in Ledger-themed fraud. It has already been documented in multiple phishing databases including PhishTank and PhishStats.

Web Reputation

The site has a poor reputation with 18 abuse reports linked to its hosting IP. It is widely recognized by our antivirus network as a credential-harvesting risk.

Brand impersonation detected

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

  • Do not interact with startcdn-ledgr.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.

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags startcdn-ledgr.wixstudio.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — startcdn-ledgr.wixstudio.com scored 3/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. startcdn-ledgr.wixstudio.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 38 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
