This screenshot shows a phishing page impersonating Banco Fie, a Bolivian bank. The page mimics the bank’s “Fienet” online banking login interface to steal customers’ USUARIO (username) and Contraseña (password).
Threat Analysis: Banco Fie Phishing – Fake “Fienet” Login Page
How it works:
The victim receives a phishing email, SMS, or other message claiming a security alert, account issue, or the need to verify their information. The link leads to this fake Banco Fie login page. The victim is asked to enter their username and password and click “Continuar.” The credentials are captured and sent to the attacker.
The goal:
The attacker aims to steal online banking credentials to access the victim’s real account, view balances, transfer funds, and commit fraud.
Red flags to watch for:
- Suspicious URL: The page is hosted on a domain that is not
bancofie.com.bzor the official Banco Fie domain. Always check the address bar. - Unsolicited login request: Banco Fie does not send links requiring customers to log in to resolve account issues. Customers should always access online banking by typing the official URL directly.
- Fake security badges: The “secure,” “GlobalSign,” and “GMO” icons are copied from legitimate sites but do not guarantee safety – they are just images on a fake page.
- No personalization or security image: Legitimate Banco Fie login pages often display a security phrase or image after username entry. This page lacks that.
- Copied contact information: The footer includes a real customer service phone number and website, but attackers copy these to appear legitimate. Their presence does not make the page safe.
What to do if you encounter this:
- Do not enter your username or password.
- If you are a Banco Fie customer, always access Fienet by typing
bancofie.com.bzdirectly into your browser. - If you have already entered your credentials, contact Banco Fie immediately through their official customer service hotline to change your password and secure your account.
- Report the phishing page to Banco Fie’s fraud department.
Protective measures:
- Bookmark the official Banco Fie login page and use that bookmark exclusively.
- Use a password manager – it will autofill only on legitimate domains.
- Enable two‑factor authentication on your bank account if available.
- Be suspicious of any unsolicited message that creates urgency and asks you to log in.
