No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 22:03:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 21:04:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 22:04:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] privacypolicy.npr.org Safety Check — Phishing Site Detected Analysis of privacypolicy.npr.org as of July 27, 2026 indicates the domain is actively serving a generic phishing campaign. The HTTP response is a permanent redirect (301) to an undisclosed location, suggesting the site is used to forward victims to a malicious payload. Registration data shows the domain was provisioned through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate brand protection services, which does not mitigate the observed malicious behavior. VirusTotal records reveal that the domain was examined by 91 independent scanning engines, and none reported a detection at the time of analysis; this absence of alerts should not be interpreted as confirmation of safety. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, providing independent corroboration of its malicious intent. Nameserver configuration includes ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, among others, indicating hosting on Amazon Web Services infrastructure. No additional intelligence such as page title, brand targeting, or malware kit has been released, leaving the exact phishing vector undefined. Given the active redirect, registration through a high‑profile registrar, and inclusion on reputable blocklists, defensive teams should add privacypolicy.npr.org to deny‑list rules at network perimeter and DNS filtering layers. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s resolution and any future changes in detection status is advised, as threat actors may modify payloads or hosting characteristics without notice. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/privacypolicy.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=privacypolicy.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.
