Insurance payouts to companies affected by the global failure of Microsoft services could be from $300 to $500 million, the Wall Street Journal writes, citing Morningstar DBRS estimates. This is significantly less than the losses from the Crood incident in 2024, which is estimated at about 1.5 billion dollars. According to broker Marsh, compensation for lost profits will be minimal, as some cyber policies only cover malicious attacks, not technical issues.
