Federal courts continue to shape the landscape for cyberfraud coverage. The recent spate of cases focus on the scope of coverage for "phishing" or "spoofing" attacks. Recent cases focus on these attacks for two reasons: they are slightly different than a classic system intrusion or hack, and these forms of invasion have grown to become the major threat that many companies face (see Matthews, Lee, "Homeland Security Chief Cites Phishing As Top Hacking Threat," Forbes, Nov. 29, 2016). It is not surprising to see an increase in court decisions dealing with the topic given this reality.

Have you become immune to the latest breach headline unless you might be personally impacted (or unless it offered the opportunity to watch "Game of Thrones" episodes early)? Tired of wondering if today is the day we get breached, hacked or held for ransom? Sick of knowing that there is no perfect solution to cybersecurity? Dumbfounded by the amount of resources that are being thrown at the issue with no guarantees that you won't suffer a catastrophic cyberevent? Fed up with trying to navigate the ever-expanding regulatory web impacting the use of data and cybersecurity? Confused by how much and what type of cyberinsurance to purchase?
