Catfishing and online scams were the focus of a recent event organised by the Media, Internet and Data Protection Bar Association (MIDBA).
The “Hook, Line and Victim” event on Wednesday examined the methodology of online scams, what is done to combat them, and what remedies there are for the victims.
Attendees heard contributions from Róisín Costello BL, author of Privacy Law in Ireland; Michael O’Doherty BL, author of Internet Law; Paul O’Grady BL; and Michael Cryan, detective superintendent in the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB).
