6  Nine Basic Patterns  Point of Sale Intrusions  Payment Card Skimmers  Physical Theft and Loss  Insider Misuse  Denial of Service Attacks  Crimeware  Web Application Attacks  Cyberespionage  Miscellaneous Errors  The industry may determine the pattern of greatest risk

7 Commercial Crime Policy  Retail Ventures, Inc. v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co., 691 F.3d 821 (6th Cir. 2012)  U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that losses resulting from the theft of customers’ banking information from a retailer’s computer system are covered under a commercial crime policy.

8  Hacker accessed credit card and checking account information from 1.4 million DSW customers.  AIG’s argued exclusion for “loss of proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential processing methods, or other confidential information of any kind” applied.  Court held exclusion applied only to “secret information of [the policyholders] involving the manner in which business is operated” and did not apply to DSW’s claim  Customers’ banking information was not confidential information of DSW and did not involve the manner in which it operated its business.

9 Sometimes there is limited D&O coverage available for cyber breaches. Examples:  Some not-for-profit healthcare organizations (e.g., hospitals, large physician practices) may include an extension by endorsement for HIPAA Fines & Penalties.

10 Examples :  Shareholder lawsuits may follow a data breach event which alleges wrongdoing by a company’s leadership. Such lawsuits may implicate D&O coverage.  Some D&O policies – generally those purchased by private companies – may also provide “entity” or company coverage for a loss like a data breach as well

11 Zurich Am. Ins. Co. v. Sony Corp. of Am., Case No. 651982/2011 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. February 21, 2014)  Hackers attacked Sony’s networks and stole nonpublic personal information of 100M people.  64 class action lawsuits (since consolidated) on behalf of network users followed as well as investigations by a variety of government entities.

12  Sony sought coverage from CGL carriers under the personal and advertising injury coverage  Insurer’s position was that the personal and advertising coverage insures only purposeful conduct by an insured. Publication of private information by a third party fell outside the policy's coverage.  NY Court agreed with Insurers.
