summit.npr.org phishing redirect: active MarkMonitor domain

This domain, summit.npr.org, is currently under investigation as a potential phishing redirect. Infrastructure analysis reveals it is hosted on Amazon Route 53, with nameservers ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, and ns-2029.awsdns-61.co.uk. The domain was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate corporate domains, which may contribute to its initial appearance of legitimacy. As of July 28, 2026, the domain returns an HTTP 301 redirect, indicating it is actively directing traffic to another location, though the destination URL remains unconfirmed.

It appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which has flagged it for potential malicious activity. No detections were reported by the 91 vendors that scanned the domain on VirusTotal, though this absence does not confirm safety. The domain remains active, and its exact content or target has not yet been fully analyzed. Defenders are advised to monitor network logs for connections to this domain, particularly any 301 redirects originating from it.

If observed, the destination of the redirect should be treated as suspicious and investigated further. Organizations using MarkMonitor-managed domains should verify that this subdomain is authorized within their infrastructure. Given the current lack of widespread detection, automated blocking may not yet be universally applied, so manual review of related traffic is recommended.

## 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.
