Zurich Insurance fined £2 million

The FSA have issued the largest fine in their history. Zurich Insurance were fined £2.275 million after the loss of a data tape in 2008, whilst moving the tape to a new location in South Africa. Zurich did not learn that the tape had been lost until a year after that date. The data held included the personal details of over 46,000 UK customers and many more in South Africa. The tape was never recovered, although it does not appear to have been stolen.

Zurich Insurance had outsourced their data storage security to a South African firm but they had failed to create proper incident reporting lines and, as such, it took over a year for the information concerning the loss to reach them.

Who pays for the home insurance when you let your house?

I ask this question on behalf of my friend, who lives in Malaysia. He wants to know what the law in England will be in this case.

The office is tasked with collecting data on behalf of the Financial Stability Oversight Board and analyzing it to spot risks to the economy.

“We have no reason to believe they would succeed where others have failed,” said Wayne Abernathy, the executive director of financial institutions policy and regulatory affairs at the American Bankers Association. ” Read more…
