Cyber or Data Breach Insurance

Do you have insurance in case the confidential information you keep is breached or in some way hacked?  Here is an article that discusses the need for coverage given the “explosion of access to and transmission of confidential data”  Click Here to read the article.

I asked Greg McDonald of Cloudstar Consulting if he advises his clients to purchase this kind of coverage.  Cloudstar specializes in technology solutions for title companies.  He said “there is a debate over how effective these types of policies are” A couple trends he sees are that this kind of coverage is mostly considered in bigger companies(150 – 300 agents) and they are usually run by boards and not individuals.  What do you think.  Is it time to consider data breach insurance.  Are you confident you have the right procedures in place to prevent cyber attacks?  Will this be part of the Risk Management and Risk Assessment that the CFPB may be asking of title companies?  What do you think?

Xerox scanners alter numbers in scanned documents | ZDNet

As if we don’t have enough to think about . . .

When set in the non-default ‘Normal’ image quality mode, some Xerox scanners and photocopiers may change characters, including numerals, in scanned documents. The initial finding of this problem was made earlier today by German researcher D. Kriesel. Kriesel demonstrated that on a Xerox WorkCentre models 7535 and 7556 scans of certain documents with numbers in them resulted in the numbers being different in the paper and scanned image.

Not sure if this is a first but it appears now underwriters will be liable for their agents RESPA violations.

The Washington Supreme Court sided with the state insurance regulators Thursday in a case involving a Kitsap County insurance agency, Land Title Co., that was a contracted agent for Chicago Title. The court said in a 6-to-2 decision that Chicago Title was liable for the illegal actions by its agent, which had given out inducements including Seattle Seahawks playoff tickets in its efforts to secure business referrals.
