AIG subsidiary tells court it's not responsible for Landry's legal costs in $20 million lawsuit filed after breach

An insurance company is arguing in court it should not be responsible for covering a $20 million lawsuit filed in connection with a data breach at a national restaurant and hospitality chain.

The Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, an AIG subsidiary, argued in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Nov. 25 that it does not need to fund a legal defense for the Landry’s restaurant chain following a breach uncovered in 2015.
JP Morgan Chase and its payment processing arm, Paymentech, filed suit in 2018 against Landry’s, alleging the company has failed to compensate the bank for breach-related costs.

The dispute comes amid a period of ongoing interest over whether insurance companies will help firms clean up the financial mess that often accompanies hacks or other security incidents.
