No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 05:43:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:34:39 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 05:44:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] securedrop.npr.org Credential Harvesting Investigation Alert The domain securedrop.npr.org is currently under investigation for potential credential phishing activity as of July 28, 2026. This domain remains active and is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate organizations, but also by threat actors seeking to lend credibility to malicious operations. The site is configured with four AWS nameservers: ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, and an incomplete fourth entry. HTTP analysis shows a status code of 301, indicating the site redirects traffic; however, the destination and content of the redirect have not yet been analyzed. Threat intelligence sources reveal that securedrop.npr.org is listed on one security blocklist, specifically flagged by PhishDestroy. This blocklist inclusion points to suspected phishing risk, although the precise evidence for the block is not detailed in available data. VirusTotal scanning results indicate that 91 vendors have reviewed the domain, with none currently flagging it. This lack of detections should not be interpreted as a confirmation of safety, as malicious domains often evade detection or are newly deployed. The exact nature of the site’s content, including whether it impersonates a particular brand or service, has not yet been examined. No page title, trust score, or SSL certificate details are present in current intelligence. Given the ongoing investigation and the active status of the domain, defenders are advised to monitor for new threat intelligence, review network logs for access to this domain, and follow blocklist guidance from PhishDestroy. Further analysis is required to determine the full impact and scope of potential credential harvesting operations associated with securedrop.npr.org. ## 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/securedrop.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=securedrop.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.
