IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
POLICYHOLDERS
Social Engineering Tips
Please read!
HAVE YOU BEEN TRICKED INTO WIRE FRAUD? TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!
If you believe you have transferred funds to a criminal posing as a legitimate business associate, you should act
quickly:
1. Immediately contact the originating bank and request a recall of the wire transfer and confirm that
recall in writing.
2. Immediately file a complaint with the FBI at www. ic3. gov. This reporting triggers the FBI s Recovery Asset
Team and the FBI s assistance seeking return of the wire transfer.
3. Preserve records of the incident, including emails sent and received in their original electronic state.
Correspondence and forensic information contained in these electronic files help investigators shed light on
the perpetrator(s), and parties responsible for the incident.
4. Once the above steps are complete, contact Chubb per the instructions in your policy.
While neither recalling the wire transfer nor reporting to the FBI guarantees the return of your funds, these steps
maximize the opportunity to mitigate your loss, assist the FBI in tracing the funds and help establish any
insurance claim.
Simple Steps to Prevent Fraudulently Induced Wire Transfers
Email communication is efficient, but it is not a secure method of communication. Regardless of your familiarity
with a contact, that contact s email may be intercepted, altered and fabricated. You may reduce the
chances of fraud by following these best practices:
1. Verify Email Requests by Telephone: Require those responsible for paying invoices or changing bank
routing information to verify payment details over the phone, rather than by email or documents sent
electronically. Making a phone call to a known, pre-existing telephone number remains the single best
protection against fraud.
2. Segregate Wire Transfer Responsibilities: Establish a standing policy that requires at least three people
to review and approve wire transfer requests, pay an invoice or change a business partner s bank account
information. Such requests should be entered by the initiator of the wire and verified by two independent
signatories.
3. Turn on MFA for Cloud Email: Multifactor Authentication is available from all major email providers. It
provides a layer of security to email accounts beyond a user s account name and password, making it harder
for criminals to impersonate you, your executives and your employees.
This document is for information only. It is offered as a resource to be used together with your professional
insurance advisers in maintaining a loss prevention program. No liability is assumed by reason of the
information this document contains.

For Investment Companies
Actual physical possession, and continued actual physical possession if taken as collateral, of the items
listed in a. (1) through a. (4) above by an Employee, Custodian, or a federal or state chartered deposit

the handwritten signature. An electronic or digital signature is not treated as a reproduction of a
handwritten signature.

under this Bond, including but not limited to the giving or receiving of any notice or proof required to be
given and for the purpose of effecting or accepting any amendments to or termination of this Bond.
If the first named Assured ceases for any reason to be covered under this Bond, then the Assured next
named on the Application shall thereafter be considered as the first named Assured for the purposes of
this Bond.

together with a copy of each formal filing of claim by any other Assured and notification of the terms of

under this Bond. Concurrent with such notice, and as requested thereafter, the Assured shall furnish
copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to the Company.
The Company may, at its sole option, elect to conduct the defense of all or part of such legal proceeding.
The defense by the Company shall be in the name of the Assured through attorneys selected by the

incurred by the Company and any settlement or judgment on that part defended by the Company shall be
a loss under the applicable Insuring Clause of this Bond. In addition, if the amount demanded in the legal
proceeding is greater than the amount recoverable under this Bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable,
or both, the Company s liability for court costs and attorneys fees incurred in defending all or part of such
legal proceeding is limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorneys fees incurred that the amount
recoverable under this Bond bears to the total of the amount demanded in such legal proceeding.
If the Company declines to defend the Assured, no settlement without the prior written consent of the
Company or judgment against the Assured shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage
under this Bond, and the Company shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the
Assured.
4. Representations Made By Assured
