    Claim examples

    Computer takeover

    One minute, Gail was on a call with her “bank,” discussing suspicious activity on her account. Reassured by the “representative,” she allowed access to her computer — only to find herself locked out moments later. With all her files frozen and a demand for $10,000 flashing on her screen, Gail was panicked. Thankfully, she’d recently added HSB’s Home Cyber Protection to her homeowners policy.

    Cyber fraud

    Mrs. Andrews received an alarming call from an “attorney,” explaining her grandson had been in an accident and needed money for legals fees immediately. Anxious to help, she followed the instructions and wired funds, only to find out later it was all an elaborate scam. The fraudsters had used her love for her grandson to drain her savings. Fortunately, HSB’s Home Cyber Protection plan covered the situation.

    Phishing scheme

    Vince received a seemingly urgent email from his “cell phone company” about an unpaid bill, complete with a link to click. Without a second thought, he followed the link and made a payment — but soon noticed his phone stopped working and his accounts were compromised. His payment information had been used by cybercriminals, causing headaches across his accounts. Luckily, HSB’s Home Cyber Protection coverage was in place to help Vince get everything straightened out and cover his financial losses.
