The Computer Crime Unit of the federal police is investigating a case of identity theft involving Catherine De Bolle, the executive director of the EU’s law enforcement agency Europol.
Despite De Bolle having taken the new job in 2018, the case appears to be centered on Belgium. Police have received hundreds of reports of an email purporting to come from her.
The purpose of the mail, rather mundanely, appears to be to get hold of people’s banking details. Recipients of the mail are ordered to reply within 72 hours.
