api-s4.npr.org — Phishing Investigation Report

As of July 19, 2026, the domain api-s4.npr.org is under investigation for potential phishing activities. The domain is currently active, returning an HTTP status code 403, which typically indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. This domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically being flagged by PhishDestroy, indicating that it may be involved in phishing operations. The absence of detections by other security vendors does not conclusively prove the safety of the domain. Defenders are advised to exercise caution and monitor this domain closely. If the domain is confirmed to be part of a phishing campaign, additional measures such as blocking, alerting, and educating users about the risks should be implemented. Further analysis is required to determine the exact nature and scope of the threat.

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
