> All we’re talking about is whether or not they are right to not pay out this specific claim. Do you have any justification for this being an act of war? What is your position on that particular issue?
Not the parent, but the if the hackers are employees of the Russian government and the ransom money was collected by the Russian government, that seems pretty "act of war"-ish to me.
If a Russian military submarine held up an American freighter, boarded, commandeered the vessel and took the goods back to Russia, wouldn't that be an act of war? Of course this case is different, but I think it is similar enough that taking this case to court is not at all unreasonable.
