No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 15:33:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 09:34:06 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:34:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] text.npr.org Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected The domain text.npr.org is currently flagged by internal monitoring as a generic phishing infrastructure. Analysis shows the site returns HTTP 200 responses, indicating an active web server, and it has been observed on a single external blocklist, confirming that at least one security feed has identified it as malicious. The domain is hosted on Amazon Web Services name servers (ns-1227.awsdns-25.org, ns-139.awsdns-17.com, ns-1580.awsdns-05.co.uk, …) and was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate brand protection services. VirusTotal reports that the domain has been scanned by ninety‑one antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of the engines are currently raising a detection, but the absence of a flag does not constitute evidence of safety. The phishing classification remains under investigation, and the risk level is listed as “under investigation” while the operational status is marked as active. Defensive teams should treat the domain as suspicious and block any outbound or inbound traffic to it at the network perimeter. Email gateways should add the domain to deny lists, and endpoint protection solutions should monitor for any attempted connections. Because the underlying hosting appears to be AWS, consider applying cloud‑provider‑specific blocks if organizational policy permits. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, especially if additional detections appear in future VirusTotal scans or other threat‑intel feeds. ## 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/text.npr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=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.
