- Belgian bank Belfius must appear before a criminal court in November after allegedly failing to immediately reimburse a phishing victim.
- Civil proceedings over phishing are common, but criminal cases involving a bank are unusual.
Belfius will have to answer before a criminal court in November because it did not immediately reimburse a victim of phishing.
De Tijd and L’Echo reported the case, which VRT NWS said had been confirmed to it. The proceedings mark an unusual development in disputes over phishing losses.
Civil cases involving phishing occur more frequently, but a case before the criminal court is exceptional.
