>> compared to something like a fire or a flood

Those are not easy things. People litigate the difference between fire and flood damage all the time. (Putting out a fire normally involves lots of water.) Sometimes flooding in building X even causes a fire in building Y. Is that covered by "fire" or "flood" insurance? The difference between various cyber attacks isn't substantively more complicated than any of the traditional insured risks. The issue is that insurers haven't invested in the experts needed to properly assess those risks. That is their problem to solve, not the customer's.

Agreed with everything you said, though 'its their problem to solve' should they decide to offer cyberattack coverage and sell it, otherwise it is the customers.
