A Florida federal court on Friday ruled that a Travelers insurer has no duty to defend a hotel operator’s information technology subsidiary against allegations that it was responsible for a data breach that exposed hotel customers’ credit card data, finding that the claim doesn’t trigger the personal injury coverage in the IT company’s policy. A unit of US insurer Rosen is not qualified to defend a policyholder facing a lawsuit over the leak of hotel guests ' credit card information . Rosen Millennium , the IT subsidiary of Rosen Hotel & Casino , is facing the prospect of paying $ 1.4 m in damages after the leak . While Millennium had a policy with Travelers ' unit St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance , and while the leaked data contained covered material , the insurer disputed whether the information was published . Taking precedent from past cases , a Florida federal judge ruled in St. Paul 's favour since the policyholder itself did n’t publish the customer information .
