--Electronic Data Does Not Constitute 'Tangible Property.'
(28th August)
Insurance company Liberty Mutual has filed a lawsuit against the supermarket chain Schnucks seeking release from liability in relation to a computer security breach Schnucks suffered earlier this year. Between December 2012 and March of this year 2.4 million credit and debit cards used at 79 of Schnucks' stores were compromised. As a result eight lawsuits have been filed against Schnucks by customers whose cards were hacked. Liberty Mutual is refusing to meet those claims stating that its coverage only applies to property damage and bodily injury and that electronic data does not constitute 'tangible property.'
