D.1, 2, 3 and 4
A.1, 2 and 4 only
Correct Answer: Option B
Cyber Insurance is designed to protect businesses and individuals from the potential financial and legal repercussions of cyber-attacks and data breaches.
Cyber insurance policies in India generally cover:
- Identity theft
- Cyber-bullying and cyber-stalking
- Cyber extortion (including the cost of consultants to minimize loss)
- Malware intrusion (including the cost of restoration)
- Financial loss due to unauthorized and fraudulent use of bank accounts, credit cards, and mobile wallets
- Legal expenses arising out of covered risks, including the cost of defence in court.
- Social Media Cover
- Phishing Cover
- E-mail Spoofing
- Media Liability Claims Cover
- Cyber Extortion Cover
- Privacy Breach and Data Breach by Third Party
The cost of a new computer due to willful damage is generally not covered under standard cyber insurance policies. It might be covered under separate home insurance policies with specific clauses.
Therefore, options 1, 3, and 4 are typically covered. Hence, option b is the correct answer.
