## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-28 09:53:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 18:21:30 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-28 12:58:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-28 09:54:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

stage1-feeds.npr.org Safety Check — Phishing Detected

Analysis of stage1-feeds.npr.org shows the domain is currently active and registered through MarkMonitor Inc. The authoritative name servers listed are ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, and an additional entry that is truncated in the source data. The domain resolves with an HTTP 301 response, indicating a permanent redirect, but the target of the redirect is not disclosed in the available intelligence. Blocklist monitoring indicates the domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been specifically blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that threat‑intelligence sources have classified it as malicious.

VirusTotal records show scans from 91 independent vendors; at the time of the latest query none of those vendors flagged the domain, a condition that does not constitute a safety assurance. No additional context such as page title, SSL certificate details, or hosting IP address is provided, leaving the underlying infrastructure and potential payload unknown. Given the confirmed phishing classification, the presence on a dedicated blocklist, and the active status, defenders should treat the domain as high‑confidence malicious.

Recommended actions include adding stage1-feeds.npr.org to URL filtering policies, monitoring for any outbound connections to the listed AWS name servers, and employing endpoint detection to capture any attempted credential submissions that may be directed to the redirected endpoint. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further intelligence, such as the final redirect target or content analysis, becomes available.

## 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.
