Case Study 1: Ransomware attack
With the servers down, the Insured
was unable to fulfil their clients’ orders.
Business interruption loss was estimated
to cost over $250,000 a day. The hacker
demanded a ransom to decrypt each
server, with the ransom amount
increasing if payment was not made
within 2 days.
The Insured is a
company operating
in the advertising
industry, with an
annual revenue of
$30 million.
Day of Incident
During the weekend,
a malicious file infected the
company's servers and all files
including artwork, historic and
current project data were affected.
The Insured reported
the incident, and
spoke to the Incident
Response Manager
on the same day.
An IT forensics firm
was deployed
immediately.
11. Chubb's Incident Response
Team assisted the Insured with
a mitigation strategy by
identifying less business-critical
servers that could be restored
from backups, and negotiating
the ransom amount to release
business-critical servers.

Case Study 2: Ransomware Attack, infected local drives
Description of Event
A construction company that outsourced its IT operations suffered a
ransomware attack because an employee clicked a malicious email
link, causing the company’s customer and project data to be encrypted.
The ransomware infected local hard drives and data that was backed
up online. Without access to the digital records, the company could not
operate its business as usual. Due to the failed attempts to negotiate
with the extortionist, additional costs were incurred to re-construct
and re-enter customer project records. This resulted in significant
downtime and major loss incurred to the business.

Case Study 3: Laptop Stolen Results In Invasion of Privacy
Description of event:
An energy company executive’s laptop was stolen from a corporate vehicle. The laptop
contained significant private customer and employee information. Although the file was
encrypted, the overall password protection on the laptop was weak and the PIN for accessing
the encrypted information was compromised.
Resolution:
After assessing the nature of the information on the laptop with a forensic expert and outside
compliance counsel at a cost of $50,000, the energy company voluntarily notified relevant
customers and employees and afforded call centre, monitoring, and restoration services, as
appropriate. While the additional first-party cost was $100,000, the energy company also
incurred $75,000 in expenses responding to a multi-state regulatory investigation. Ultimately,
the company was fined $100,000 for deviating from its publicly stated privacy policy
