Is startd-ledgr.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
A malicious Ledger.com clone hosted on Wix Studio that uses typosquatting to target cryptocurrency users for credential theft.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site is a confirmed part of a large-scale phishing network targeting Ledger hardware wallet users. Our intelligence stack identified it as a clone of the legitimate ledger.com/start page, using a 'ledgr' typosquat to deceive visitors. While the domain age appears old, this is because it is a subdomain of Wix Studio; the specific 'startd-ledgr' prefix is a known malicious indicator. Multiple security engines, including alphaMountain.ai, have flagged the URL for phishing. The page currently displays a 404 error, which is a common tactic for short-lived phishing campaigns once they have been detected or reported.
Web Research Findings
