No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 04:03:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:34:02 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 04:06:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] s.npr.org Fake NPR Impersonation Alert Analysis of the domain s.npr.org, observed on July 28 2026, shows that the sub‑domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate corporate assets. Its authoritative name servers are ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, and ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, indicating hosting on Amazon Web Services infrastructure. HTTP queries to the host return a 403 status code, suggesting that the web server is configured to deny unauthorised access or that the content is deliberately hidden from casual inspection. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, providing an external confirmation that threat‑intelligence communities have flagged the host as malicious. VirusTotal has recorded scans from 91 independent antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; at the time of analysis none of those engines have raised a detection, but the absence of a flag does not constitute proof of safety, especially given the blocklist placement. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or IP address information are currently available, and no evidence links or OTX reports have been published for this host. Consequently, the confidence in the domain’s malicious intent rests on its blocklist status, the restrictive HTTP response, and the alignment with a generic phishing classification. Defenders should treat s.npr.org as a high‑confidence phishing indicator: traffic to the domain should be denied at the network perimeter, DNS queries can be blocked or redirected, and endpoint security solutions should be updated to include the domain in their URL filtering rules. Continuous monitoring of the name‑server resolution and periodic re‑scanning with VirusTotal or similar services are recommended to capture any future changes in the domain’s behaviour or detection profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2f25bd2cb433984c995b4b43329a5e1c0cbdc9fae9d3f0c12273cb6e9c824331 ## 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/s.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=s.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.
