pianojazz.npr.org Fake NPR Alert

The domain pianojazz.npr.org was observed on July 27, 2026 as part of a generic phishing campaign. The site resolves to AWS name‑servers ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, and ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, indicating hosting on Amazon Route 53. Registration records show the domain was created through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, which does not preclude malicious use. HTTP traffic returns a 301 redirect, suggesting an attempt to forward victims to a secondary location.

The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is listed as blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming that at least one commercial phishing mitigation service has taken action. VirusTotal analysis shows the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines, none of which reported a detection at the time of scanning; however, the absence of detections does not guarantee safety. No public IP address, SSL certificate details, or page title have been disclosed, limiting the ability to assess the underlying hosting infrastructure or content.

Consequently, the confidence in the full scope of the campaign remains limited. Defenders should continue to monitor DNS queries for the listed name‑servers, enforce blocklist rules that include this domain, and consider adding the domain to internal URL filtering policies. Ongoing observation of any changes to the redirect behavior or emergence of additional detections is recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
