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 12:36:56 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 09:54:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stations.npr.org Phishing Infrastructure – Active Analysis of stations.npr.org indicates the domain remains active in a generic phishing campaign as of the report date, July 28, 2026. The domain resolves to a set of Amazon Route 53 name servers (ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, etc.), suggesting the hosting infrastructure is provided by Amazon Web Services. HTTP requests to the domain return a 301 redirect, a behavior often leveraged to forward victims to malicious payloads or credential‑harvesting pages. The registrar listed for the domain is MarkMonitor Inc., a service commonly used for legitimate brand protection, which may be an attempt to add perceived legitimacy to the infrastructure. VirusTotal records show the domain has been examined by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of those scanners have issued a detection flag, but the absence of a flag does not constitute evidence of safety. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one threat‑intelligence source has identified it as malicious. No additional data such as SSL certificate details, page titles, or brand‑specific targeting were available for further correlation. Defenders encountering traffic to stations.npr.org should treat the domain as hostile: block outbound connections at the firewall, add the domain to internal URL filtering lists, and monitor for any credential‑theft attempts that may reference the NPR brand. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, given the active status and the presence of the domain on a known phishing blocklist. ## 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/stations.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stations.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.
