ficofacil.com serves a page titled simply "Ficohsa", the name of a Central American banking brand, on a domain that is not that brand's own name. PhishDestroy added it to its blocklist on 2026-10-10. The domain has no confirmed scheme classification yet, but the borrowed bank name and independent vendor detections make it a site to avoid. It was still online with live content when checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
A page that carries a bank's name on an unrelated, friendly-sounding domain like "ficofacil" is the classic setup for harvesting banking logins, card details or personal information from people who believe they are dealing with the real institution. We have not confirmed which of these the page collects. Anything typed into it, such as usernames, passwords, one-time codes, card numbers or identity details, should be treated as exposed.
Evidence
On 2026-10-10, 16 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, among them BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF and DNS8. That is a meaningful minority of engines, and it includes several mainstream vendors rather than only niche feeds. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tied it to malicious activity independently. Among the blocklists we track, only PhishDestroy currently lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2019-07-30 through Cloudflare, Inc., more than seven years before PhishDestroy flagged it. An older domain can slip past filters that distrust new registrations, and it may have changed purpose over time. Traffic runs through Cloudflare's network (AS13335, US), which places the real origin server behind a proxy and out of public view.
What to do
If you entered banking credentials on this site, change your online banking password immediately, using the bank's official app or a number from your card, and reset any account that shares that password. Contact your bank to review recent transactions, freeze or reissue any card you typed in, and ask about the security of your one-time codes. Be wary of follow-up calls or messages that claim to be from Ficohsa and ask for codes. Defenders should block ficofacil.com at DNS and the web proxy, search mail and proxy logs for visits, and report it to Ficohsa's security team and to Cloudflare's abuse channel.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
