[Litigation] Website Hijacking Case, 320 million Won Damages Victory
Article posted in | VEAT
Law firm Veat filed civil and criminal lawsuits in a case where an employee managing a recruitment advertisement website stole the website itself by changing the website management ID and password, changing information such as the website name and account number, and successfully won all cases.
Veat filed criminal charges against the employee for breach of duty, violation of the Personal Information Protection Act, and violation of the Copyright Act, leading to a guilty verdict from the court. In the civil judgment, not only was the entire amount of 220 million won (partial claim) requested from the court recognized as damages, but Veat also claimed actual losses for one month, the period during which the website was actually stolen, and approximately six months of reduced future sales, resulting in a total damages of 320 million won being recognized.
Law firm Veat will continue to do its best to ensure that all losses suffered by clients who have been infringed upon in the future can be compensated.
Thank you.
