The first being the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">liability</span>; that’s your <a href=\"/articles/commercial-general-liability\" rel=\"noopener\">commercial general liability</a>, also known as public liability. That’s the bodily injury or property damage to the public. No equipment vendor is going to let you out the door without liability insurance. You’re not going to get a film permit without liability insurance, and a financier is not going to give you your drawdown without liability insurance because no one wants to be sued on your behalf.</p>\n<p>The second and most common part is the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">property</span> section. This will insure your <a href=\"/articles/production-equipment-and-props-sets-wardrobe-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">props, set, wardrobe</a>, production equipment, cameras, lighting, grip, as well as damage to <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/110340/film-production-insurance-and-renting-crew-personal-vehicles\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicles being rented</a> by the production whether they’re on camera or behind camera. <a href=\"/grip-van-grip-truck-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">Grip trucks</a>, mobile studio units, trailers, etc. That’s all the physical damage to those types of property.</p>\n<p>The third section is sort of the unknown part to most people who are out to buy film insurance and that’s <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">first-party coverage</span> or <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/75392/film-production-equipment-insurance-why-you-need-extra-expense\" rel=\"noopener\">extra expense coverage</a>. The big one there and the one we tend to see the largest claims on is <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\" rel=\"noopener\">cast insurance</a>. This insures your key cast members or your director if they get sick, injured or die. It doesn’t cover workers compensation and it doesn’t protect the artists themselves; what it’s doing is protecting the production company for expenses that the company would incur if they had to do a reshoot or shut down production to wait for that artist or director to get better. Or, in severe cases where maybe someone dies, or they’re not going to get better quick enough for the production to get done, it would cover the cost to go back and reshoot with a new artist.</p>\n<p>Some of the big examples of this would be <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">Heath Ledger on <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em></a><em> </em>(2009) or <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker dying</a> during one of the episodes of the <em>Fast &amp; Furious</em> films and that’s actually the largest cast claim in history; upwards of $50 million.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/film-production-insurance\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/24987/film-production-insurance-why-it-is-needed\" rel=\"noopener\">Film Insurance: Why is it Needed?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/entertainment-insurance-package-policy\" rel=\"noopener\">Entertainment Package Policy Explained</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://cinevic.buzzsprout.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CineVic podcast</a></span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

Canada, fully composed of music writers and publishers but mostly composed of writers. And when writers write a song, whether they’re a beatmaker or producer or lyricist or rapper, etc., they register themselves as a SOCAN writer member, and they should also register all their compositions to SOCAN.</p>\n<p>A lot of the time what I’m doing is going on SOCAN’s website, looking at their repertoire, looking up a composition and seeing who the writers and publishers are. And sometimes I discover that there are people listed there who are not subject to any agreement of a song that we’re licensing.</p>\n<p>I remember one time, I was helping a producer put together some master use and synchronization licensing agreements, they gave me the names of every song, they knew who all the writers were and who created the recordings, and as an extra layer of due diligence, I went onto SOCAN’s website, I searched every composition, and for one composition I found that there was some other person listed who had the same last name as a writer we knew about, but it was some other person.</p>\n<p>So, I asked the producer to go check this out and it ended up being the child of this composer. So, the composer listed themselves and their kid, which actually extends the life of a song when it goes into the public domain because if you’re 100 and your co-writer is 5, then the public domain starts way later, but that’s another topic.</p>\n<h2>How does a producer use SOCAN?</h2>\n<p>[A film producer] can see on SOCAN who the writers are, or at least who is registered as a writer. SOCAN does not equal fact all the time. Just because someone is listed as a writer on SOCAN doesn’t mean that they actually wrote the song, but it’s a good way to do some due diligence to see whether or not someone is missing from the list of agreements.</p>\n<p>SOCAN is not the only list that is out there. Oftentimes, I also look at the BMI and ASCAP lists. These organizations are similar to SOCAN but based in the US. They have a similar repertoire system but there are some songs listed there that aren’t on SOCAN’s lists, but the bottom line is that these <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">performance rights organizations</a> (PROs) have lists of compositions and those lists can be helpful to see whether or not there are people who may come after you if you don’t get their consent [to use their music in your production].</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/117160/instrument-insurance-for-socan-members\" rel=\"noopener\">Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/en/socan-instrument-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members, Available 24/7</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

And when writers write a song, whether they’re a beatmaker or producer or lyricist or rapper, etc., they register themselves as a SOCAN writer member, and they should also register all their compositions to SOCAN.</p>\n<p>A lot of the time what I’m doing is going on SOCAN’s website, looking at their repertoire, looking up a composition and seeing who the writers and publishers are. And sometimes I discover that there are people listed there who are not subject to any agreement of a song that we’re licensing.</p>\n<p>I remember one time, I was helping a producer put together some master use and synchronization licensing agreements, they gave me the names of every song, they knew who all the writers were and who created the recordings, and as an extra layer of due diligence, I went onto SOCAN’s website, I searched every composition, and for one composition I found that there was some other person listed who had the same last name as a writer we knew about, but it was some other person.</p>\n<p>So, I asked the producer to go check this out and it ended up being the child of this composer. So, the composer listed themselves and their kid, which actually extends the life of a song when it goes into the public domain because if you’re 100 and your co-writer is 5, then the public domain starts way later, but that’s another topic.</p>\n<h2>How does a producer use SOCAN?</h2>\n<p>[A film producer] can see on SOCAN who the writers are, or at least who is registered as a writer. SOCAN does not equal fact all the time. Just because someone is listed as a writer on SOCAN doesn’t mean that they actually wrote the song, but it’s a good way to do some due diligence to see whether or not someone is missing from the list of agreements.</p>\n<p>SOCAN is not the only list that is out there. Oftentimes, I also look at the BMI and ASCAP lists. These organizations are similar to SOCAN but based in the US. They have a similar repertoire system but there are some songs listed there that aren’t on SOCAN’s lists, but the bottom line is that these <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">performance rights organizations</a> (PROs) have lists of compositions and those lists can be helpful to see whether or not there are people who may come after you if you don’t get their consent [to use their music in your production].</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/117160/instrument-insurance-for-socan-members\" rel=\"noopener\">Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/en/socan-instrument-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members, Available 24/7</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

They have a similar repertoire system but there are some songs listed there that aren’t on SOCAN’s lists, but the bottom line is that these <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">performance rights organizations</a> (PROs) have lists of compositions and those lists can be helpful to see whether or not there are people who may come after you if you don’t get their consent [to use their music in your production].</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/117160/instrument-insurance-for-socan-members\" rel=\"noopener\">Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/en/socan-instrument-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members, Available 24/7</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

\n<p><strong><br>Colby Spencer</strong>: For someone who is an indie filmmaker or doing a small project, what are some things that you wish you could tell them that they can learn from this episode?</p> \n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I would say probably the most important thing – and I try to hit this home with every filmmaker – when you’re going to film at a location, whether it is someone’s home or a studio, or you’ve rented a diner, have two or three people on your crew walk around with their cell phones and film every inch of that location. Capture every “before” version of that home or location before the rest of the cast/crew or any equipment enters into that location.</p> \n<p>The reason being is: every homeowner is going to come back to their home after you’re doing using it for a film and they’re going to see a little scratch on the kitchen counter, they’re going to see a paint chip in the bedroom, they’re going to see a little nick on the floor, and they’re going to blame the production. And the only tool you have to counter that would be the “before” photos.</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, like a car rental, same thing, right? When you come back, it’s on you, so you better note it before.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: But it’s even more extreme when a homeowner comes back to their home and maybe doesn’t remember that their kid may have made that hole behind the door but all they see is, “I don’t remember it there. I want everything back the way it was, you know, 30 years ago when we bought the home.”</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: This is my chance to get a renovation!

some things that you wish you could tell them that they can learn from this episode?</p> \n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I would say probably the most important thing – and I try to hit this home with every filmmaker – when you’re going to film at a location, whether it is someone’s home or a studio, or you’ve rented a diner, have two or three people on your crew walk around with their cell phones and film every inch of that location. Capture every “before” version of that home or location before the rest of the cast/crew or any equipment enters into that location.</p> \n<p>The reason being is: every homeowner is going to come back to their home after you’re doing using it for a film and they’re going to see a little scratch on the kitchen counter, they’re going to see a paint chip in the bedroom, they’re going to see a little nick on the floor, and they’re going to blame the production. And the only tool you have to counter that would be the “before” photos.</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, like a car rental, same thing, right? When you come back, it’s on you, so you better note it before.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: But it’s even more extreme when a homeowner comes back to their home and maybe doesn’t remember that their kid may have made that hole behind the door but all they see is, “I don’t remember it there. I want everything back the way it was, you know, 30 years ago when we bought the home.”</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: This is my chance to get a renovation! Well, and a lot of people think, film has deep pockets, so it’s like “I’ll just complain and I’ll get something.” But this [usually] isn’t <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The X-Files</em></a>, this is like some UBC students who came in and shot a short.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: I had a funny one maybe four to five years ago where a homeowner claimed that their floors were damaged by the production, which technically they were, but maybe only two or three panels of the wood floors that were damaged.</p> \n<p>So, there is this meeting between the homeowners, the claims adjuster (who works for the insurance company) and the contractor who would be repairing or replacing the floors. They brought it to the attention of the adjuster that the particular floors that were being used in this home are no longer made and they more or less proved to the adjuster that in order to make this homeowner whole, they’re going to have to replace the entire bottom floor of this home with a new floor. Not that unusual, especially in an older home, you’re not going to be able to find that particular floor anymore, especially if it’s real wood.</p> \n<p>But during this discussion, all of a sudden, the teenage son of the homeowners comes in with an entire box of the flooring and says, “Hey guys, guess what, I found all the extra flooring from when the floors were done!” So, what was probably going to be a $30,000 claim (the homeowners were going to get new flooring, they were going to get to pick out the colour, etc.) turned out to be about $300 in labor and wasn’t even an insurance claim at the end.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/film-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">film production insurance here</a>.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><strong>Related</strong>:</p> \n<ul> \n <li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Call A Wrap On Top Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/third-party-property-damage-liability\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Party Property Damage Coverage Explained</a></li> \n</ul> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vantropolis podcast</a></span></p> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

Once a hacker gets their hands on a password, they can use it to compromise employee information as well as customer data, turning a single password breach into millions in damage.</li>\n<li><strong>Avoid collecting or storing payment information</strong>:&nbsp;Outsource payment processing and avoid collecting customer payment information such as credit card info on your own. Dedicated security staff have the resources and tools to protect data better than you can.</li>\n<li><strong>Educate your employees</strong>: It may seem like common sense, but it’s not always. Develop a written policy about security &amp; privacy and make sure employees are on board and understand their responsibility to protect confidential data. <a href=\"/articles/cyber-crime-insurance-for-non-profits\" rel=\" noopener\">No business is “too small” for a hacker</a>; the more prepared you are, the less at-risk you are.\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Download our <strong>FREE eBook</strong> to give to your employees: <a href=\"/cyber-insurance-101\" rel=\" noopener\"><em>Cyber insurance 101 / how to protect your computer systems</em></a></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li><strong>And, of course, purchase <a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\">Cyber Liability Insurance</a>: </strong><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">90% of small businesses do not currently have </span><a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">cyber insurance</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">!&nbsp;</span>You need to know that your business will be protected against any security breaches.

there’s also cast insurance claims and they can be some of the biggest claims that a project can incur. One of the examples that I saw on the Front Row blog was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">when Heath Ledger died</a> during <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em> (2009), which would have been before you joined Front Row. But that had to be recast with new actors and all of the fallout that happens from something like that and the insurance followed as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I believe that is still the largest cast claim in Canada for a Canadian film.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And I do know the largest in the US was <em>The Fast and the Furious</em> franchise, which was $50 million, and that was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker when he passed away</a>, so a huge amount of money. Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability. For someone like Pitt, who may have three other projects lined up, if they lost him for a week while his arm was getting better, they may not be able to finish their project for six months after his next project is done.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And it’s funny when you watch it as an audience member, you don’t even care, but you know the people who were working on that stuff care, they had a lot of sleepless nights.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: It’s not too much different than writing in a pregnancy on a TV show or movie. These things happen and in the case of Brad Pitt injuring himself, that’s insurable, but you cannot really insure against someone getting pregnant; it’s not an injury.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s interesting because I know actors sign contracts that they won’t do certain things but that’s not necessarily related to film production insurance.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Well, we require actors, actresses and the director – anyone who is going to be insured as a cast member on a film – <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\">they have to undergo a physical</a>.

One of the examples that I saw on the Front Row blog was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">when Heath Ledger died</a> during <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em> (2009), which would have been before you joined Front Row. But that had to be recast with new actors and all of the fallout that happens from something like that and the insurance followed as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I believe that is still the largest cast claim in Canada for a Canadian film.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And I do know the largest in the US was <em>The Fast and the Furious</em> franchise, which was $50 million, and that was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker when he passed away</a>, so a huge amount of money. Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability. For someone like Pitt, who may have three other projects lined up, if they lost him for a week while his arm was getting better, they may not be able to finish their project for six months after his next project is done.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And it’s funny when you watch it as an audience member, you don’t even care, but you know the people who were working on that stuff care, they had a lot of sleepless nights.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: It’s not too much different than writing in a pregnancy on a TV show or movie. These things happen and in the case of Brad Pitt injuring himself, that’s insurable, but you cannot really insure against someone getting pregnant; it’s not an injury.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s interesting because I know actors sign contracts that they won’t do certain things but that’s not necessarily related to film production insurance.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Well, we require actors, actresses and the director – anyone who is going to be insured as a cast member on a film – <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\">they have to undergo a physical</a>. And as part of that physical, they do warrant that they’re not going to jump off buildings, go scuba diving, ride a motorcycle, etc. Basically, we want them in a bubble for the next six weeks.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/film-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/civil-authority-coverage-explained\" rel=\"noopener\">Film Production Civil Authority Coverage Explained</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vantropolis podcast</a></span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did reasonably well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the included <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for production companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to obtain and disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened. With <a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> is included in the policy.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">WHAT IS <a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\">CYBER INSURANCE | CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE | CYBER SECURITY INSURANCE | HACK INSURANCE</a>?</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https://hackinsure.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Cyber hack insurance</strong></span><strong> for filmmakers</strong></a> is designed to protect them from certain losses associated with data breaches and hacks.

production company? Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to disclose sensitive data.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened.

Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to disclose sensitive data.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened.

Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

think a ransomware hack could happen to <i>your</i> small business? Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack.
