Cyber ransomware and extortion
If ransomware locks your devices or someone extorts you over a cyber event, the policy responds.
What is covered, and what is not
One example of each, so the boundary is visible before you buy. The issued policy always has the final word.
Covered example
Ransomware locks a family computer and a ransom demand follows; the case is handled under the policy.
Not covered example
An extortion threat with no underlying cyber event behind it.
The policy wording
The same line in the words a policy uses. The meaning does not change.
Coverage for cyber ransomware and extortion events, subject to the terms of the issued policy.
No limit is set for this line on its own. Total cover is set per plan, and every figure is subject to the terms of the issued policy.
Which plans include it
Every plan in your region, with its monthly price and total cover, and whether this line is part of it.
