No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 14:53:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:51:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 14:57:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] images.npr.org: Legitimate CDN Endpoint, No Confirmed Phishing Analysis of images.npr.org as of July 26, 2026, indicates this domain is the official content delivery network endpoint for National Public Radio (NPR), a known legitimate media organization. The domain returns an HTTP 200 status, suggesting functional accessibility, and is hosted on Amazon Web Services nameservers (ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, and ns-426.awsdns-53.net), consistent with NPR's infrastructure. Registration is managed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by established enterprises. The domain appears on a single security blocklist (PhishDestroy), though no technical evidence of malicious activity is currently available in the provided data. VirusTotal scans by 91 vendors show no detections, but this absence does not confirm safety, as phishing campaigns may evade initial detection. No additional indicators—such as SSL anomalies, suspicious redirects, or known phishing kits—are present in the available intelligence. Defenders should treat this domain as low-risk for phishing but verify its legitimacy through contextual use. If observed in unexpected communications (e.g., unsolicited emails, credential requests), cross-reference with NPR's official domains and investigate for potential spoofing of the CDN endpoint. Monitor for changes in blocklist status or detection vendor flags, as this could indicate emerging threats. No immediate remediation is required unless additional malicious indicators emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 957934bb7af59d5649c8c65e8e92d6bc TLS cert SHA-256: 8b32e2b120ed26929893edd24febc9483c41c11dc1a27ad42281cba511f395b6 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/images.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=images.npr.org Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
