Sounds like a big "out" is claiming an attack was an act of war. But very few nations declare war nowadays. They have "police actions" or "peacekeeping missions

Maybe telling these companies "no war was declared, so you must pay out" would be a good thing.
Insurance companies are powerful lobbyists both in the traditional K street sense, and the soft power sense.
(For the soft power sense, picture a major insurance company telling a nation state their state owned businesses can self insure moving forward, since the business cannot handle the risks they generate.)

- southern_cross 8y agoDon't forget, though, that the U.S. and North Korea are officially still at war, since no peace treaty was ever signed. So pin a cyber attack against a U.S. entity on N.K. and there you are!
