A court of the Northern District of Texas ruled on competing summary judgment motions about an insured’s malware attack, denying the insurer’s motion for summary judgment for declaratory judgment, breach of contract and violations of the insurance code based on a bona fide dispute about a Ransomware Sub-Limit but granting the insured’s motion for partial summary judgment because the cyber insurance policy’s $250,000 Ransomware Sub-Limit as worded did not apply to all insuring agreements for the insured’s claims under the Cyber Extortion or Extortion Threat coverage sections, consequently meaning that the $3,000,000 policy limits were available for the insured’s claim.
