Judge: Comerica must pay company hit in phishing attack

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Dissent

David Ashenfelter reports on a ruling in a case with potentially huge implications, EMI v. Comerica (past coverage):

Comerica bank must reimburse a Sterling Heights sheet metal company $561,000 it lost in an Internet phishing attack, a federal judge has ruled in what may be the first such case nationally to be tried to a verdict.

The company’s lawyer, Richard Tomlinson of Troy, said he was elated by Monday’s ruling.
