# PhishDestroy threat dossier — stage-text.npr.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 13:18:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/stage-text.npr.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE THREAT — multiple warning signs Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2.16.204.152 (DE, Hamburg) ASN: AS20940 Akamai International B.V. Hosting org: Akamai Technologies Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1227.awsdns-25.org", "ns-139.awsdns-17.com", "ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk", "ns-769.awsdns-32.net"] Page title: NPR : National Public Radio HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8b32e2b120ed26929893edd24febc9483c41c11dc1a27ad42281cba511f395b6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - about.npr.org - analytics.npr.org - api-s1.npr.org - api-s4.npr.org - api.npr.org - app.npr.org - arts.npr.org - askmeanother.npr.org - books.npr.org - build.npr.org - bundles-prod.npr.org - bundles-s1.npr.org - bundles-s4.npr.org - bundles.npr.org - cpa.ds.npr.org ... +83 more ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 09:53:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:58:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 09:54:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stage-text.npr.org Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected stage-text.npr.org is currently listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. The domain was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate enterprises, which does not by itself mitigate the observed malicious indicators. DNS resolution is served by Amazon Web Services DNS infrastructure, as evidenced by the nameservers ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, and ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk. An HTTP request to the root URL returns a 200 OK status, indicating that a web server is reachable, but no further content analysis has been published. VirusTotal records show that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors, none of which reported a detection at the time of scanning; this absence of detections should not be interpreted as confirmation of safety. No public SSL certificate details, IP address, autonomous system number, or geographic hosting information are presently available, limiting the depth of infrastructure profiling. The lack of a disclosed page title or extracted brand target means that the specific phishing lure employed by the site cannot be confirmed, and the current classification relies on the blocklist entry and the generic phishing tag assigned by the reporting system. Defenders should continue to block stage-text.npr.org at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any changes in its hosting or content characteristics, and re‑query reputation services regularly. Additional investigation, such as retrieving the page content, performing TLS certificate inspection, and correlating traffic logs, would be required to fully characterize the threat vector and to determine whether the domain is being used to harvest credentials, deliver malware, or support other malicious campaigns. ## 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/stage-text.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stage-text.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.
