[Litigation] Website Hijacking Incident
Article posted in | VEAT
Law firm Veat represented a client who suffered damages, including a sharp decline in sales, due to an employee suddenly changing the homepage administrator ID and password while the client was managing the website, and changing it to a homepage operated by the employee.
To minimize the client’s damage caused by the defendant's unexpected action, Law firm Veat, in cooperation with the cyber investigation unit, swiftly filed a complaint, blocked the homepage address usage rights, and took measures such as notifying users. As a result, the defendant was quickly subject to a prosecution opinion by the prosecution and a court ruling. Furthermore, we meticulously reviewed the amount of damages caused by the defendant's actions, calculated the amount, and immediately filed a civil lawsuit to hold the defendant accountable for their illegal acts.
Thank you.
