A client lost funds in a phishing attack, but the bank refused to return them due to the client's negligence.

The client had to file a case with the Polish court, which then went to the European Court of Justice for clarification. The court ruled that the bank should return the funds immediately after receiving notification of the theft, unless there are valid grounds to believe the theft was committed by the client and reported to the competent national authority.

Supermarket freezers in ten European countries, including Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden, have reportedly gone into defrost mode, causing temperatures to reach 50°C.

The incident is believed to be the work of hackers who forced a continuous defrost cycle, leading to spoiled food and potential fires. The attack is believed to have originated in France, where Finance Minister Roland Lescure reported 700 affected supermarkets. Federal prosecutors in Belgium have opened an investigation into the incident, which also affected several stores in Luxembourg and Portugal.

Users with smart‑contract wallets are asked to email before the closure, and the DAO‑managed fund return is expected in the second half of November.
Price Prediction
Ethereum is struggling to maintain its price above $2.3K, with recent recoveries failing to reverse the broader downtrend. Key support is identified in the $2.17K–$2.22K region, with a potential breakdown exposing the psychological $2K level and broader demand zone around $1.82K–$1.98K. Liquidation concentrations below the current price, particularly around $2.15K–$2.20K and $2K–$2.05K, could amplify downside volatility if Ethereum fails to hold its recent lows.
