Yet another Switzerland-based bank has fallen victim to the theft of client data, with Zurich-listed Julius Baer reporting loss of information concerning German customers, according to media reports

Yet another Switzerland-based bank has fallen victim to the theft of client data, with Zurich-listed Julius Baer reporting loss of information concerning German customers, according to media reports.

“According to what we know, this is the case,” chief executive Boris Collardi told the SonntagsZeitung newspaper at the weekend. “As part of our stepped-up controls and a thorough internal investigation we recently discovered a case of data misuse and were able to identify the alleged thief.”
