Each address below can have subdomains in front of it (`www.`, `login.`), and they are still Bank of America's. - `bankofamerica.com` - `bofa.com` ## How to read the address Look at the part between `https://` and the first single `/`. Read it from the right. The real thing ends in `bankofamerica.com` or another domain listed below, with nothing but a dot before it. - `https://login.bankofamerica.com/…` is Bank of America: it ends in `.bankofamerica.com`. - `https://bankofamerica.com.account-check.example/…` is not: it ends in `account-check.example`, and Bank of America's name at the front is decoration. - `https://bankofamerica-secure-login.example/…` is not: a hyphen makes a different domain, and anyone can register one. Everything after the first `/` is chosen by whoever made the page, so `…/bankofamerica.com/signin` in the path proves nothing. ## What fake Bank of America pages looked like On 5 November 2026, PhishTank listed 31 live, verified phishing URLs that its volunteers labelled Bank of America. - **100%** used HTTPS.
