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: 2026-07-29 16:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 09:54:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stage-www.npr.org — Generic Phishing Investigation Report stage-www.npr.org was observed on July 28 2026 as part of an ongoing generic phishing investigation. The domain resolves to four Amazon Route 53 name servers – ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, and an additional unspecified server – and its WHOIS record shows registration through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar frequently used by large enterprises. The report classifies the risk level as under investigation and marks the domain status as active. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy network, indicating that at least one threat‑intelligence source has flagged it as malicious. A VirusTotal scan performed by 91 anti‑malware vendors returned no detections at the time of analysis; this absence of flags does not constitute proof of safety. An HTTP GET request returned a 200 OK status, confirming that the web service is reachable, but no page‑title or content metadata is available in the supplied data. Infrastructure details such as IP address, autonomous system number, or hosting geography were not provided, leaving the underlying hosting environment uncharacterized. Given the active blocklist status, defenders should continue to monitor outbound traffic for connections to this domain, enforce DNS or proxy filtering to block access, and consider adding the domain to local deny lists. Further investigation of the hosted content, TLS certificate details, and request logs is recommended to determine whether credential‑stealing forms or malicious payloads are present. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bcbb623e9808e8b2586ac1c8f90b3038 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-www.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stage-www.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.
