On January 13, 2023, Alicante Court No. 15 of Alicante issued sentence 15/2023, by which it upheld the claim for compensation for damages filed by Palomar Abogados in favor of a victim of a bank phishing, and by virtue of it it has ordered BANCO SANTANDER S.A. to compensate him an amount of 5,101.39 euros and to pay him the procedural costs of the claim.

The aforementioned amount of 5,101.39 euros had been stolen from our client by a cybercriminal, who through a deception or phishing action took over his online banking access credentials, as well as the numbering of the payment cards. After this deception manoeuvre, the cybercriminal made several purchases charged to the debit and credit cards of which our client was the holder. BANCO SANTANDER, S.A. completely ignored what happened, and the affected party resorted to the services of our law firm specialized in banking law.

At Palomar Abogados, after being entrusted with the client's legal representation, we filed a claim for compensation for damages, based on the extra-contractual and contractual civil liability of BANCO SANTANDER for the theft of money suffered by our client. In the body of our pleadings, we stated  that BANCO SANTANDER, S.A. was solely responsible for the security breach inherent in the customer authentication system designed on the online banking platform of that bank.

We are proud to have legally assisted our client in the arduous task of recovering the €5101.39 that should never have disappeared from his bank account, and the added satisfaction of noting that the court ruling, in addition to ordering BANCO SANTANDER to pay €5,101.39 to our client, also condemns the bank to pay the costs of the legal process.
