A unit of US insurer Travelers is not obliged to defend a policyholder facing a lawsuit over the leak of hotel guests' credit card information. The case involves an American who was charged with fraud after he allegedly used his stolen information for fraudulent purchases. You have to know what’s happening with clients, competitors, practice areas, and industries. While Millennium had a policy with Travelers' unit St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance, and while the leaked data constituted 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 didn’t publish the customer information.
