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.

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.

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

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.
