What happens if you get an Out of Office (OOO) response from one of our teammates this summer?
Some of our team will be taking well-deserved vacations over these next few months. If you get an OOO response, you can simply forward your message to info@ticak.com since that email is always monitored. Your message will be sent to another team member for timely assistance. Thank you!
20% Cyber Commissions to end 7/1/2021-take advantage of this opportunity to get your customers cyber coverage today!
There were some cool cyber updates this week, like how the FBI took back the Bitcoin ransomware from the hackers on the Colonial Pipeline. In other news, just because you pay ransomware once doesn’t mean you won’t pay again, even if you are the police.
From Coindesk; FBI Recovers Bitcoin From Colonial Ransom Attack
From the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, it was just made public that the local Police paid ransomware twice, the first time with insurance money, in 2018
From CNN: JBS paid over $11 MILLION in ransomware

Adding oil extraction operations to an existing cannabis account?
Some of your customers are doing amazingly well selling cannabis and are looking to expand into cannabis oil extraction. Before they get too far, please know that there are additional underwriting requirements, including getting a pre-inspection prior to obtaining coverage. Let your customers know upfront that this is an additional requirement that requires extra time.
