Article 0 Comments Federal investigators are outlining the final moments of a plane crash last month in upstate New York that killed a family from Massachusetts heading to the Catskills to celebrate a birthday and the Passover holiday. The victims of the April 12 crash in Copake, New York, included Karenna Groff, a former MIT soccer player named the 2022 NCAA woman of the year; her physician parents, Dr. Michael Groff and Dr. Joy Saini; her brother, Jared Groff, and his partner, Alexia Couyutas Duarte; and Karenna Groff’s boyfriend, James Santoro.

But at about 11:57 a.m., Michael Groff informed air traffic control that he’d missed the initial approach to the runway at Columbia County Airport, according to the report.

Texas Legislators Seek Solutions to Rising Home Insurance Rates

Article 1 Comment Texas lawmakers hope to rein in homeowners’ rising insurance bills even as they acknowledge there’s only so much they can do to tackle costs. Legislators have advanced bills to limit how much insurance companies can hike rates and help homeowners make their homes more insurable. They’ve also sought to compel insurers to be more upfront with homeowners when they decide to yank coverage, or deny it in the first place. Texans pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the country. On average, Texas homeowners saw their insurance rates spike by double digits in recent years — a far cry from the previous decade when such increases were unheard of. Homeowners’ insurance rates climbed by nearly 19% in 2024, according to the Texas Department of Insurance, slightly down from more than 21% the previous year. A number of factors have spurred insurance costs in recent years, insurance experts say. For one, property values in Texas surged amid the state’s population boom — raising the cost to ensure homes and businesses. Climate change has intensified extreme weather events like hailstorms, hurricanes, and winter freezes and made severe weather more common. With the state’s population growth, more people have...

Coalition 2025 Cyber Claims Report Finds Ransomware Stabilized but Remains Costly for Businesses

Majority of 2024 Cyber Insurance Claims Stemmed from Business Email Compromise or Funds Transfer Fraud San Francisco, CA (May 7, 2025) — Coalition, the world’s first Active Insurance provider designed to prevent digital risk before it strikes, has published its 2025 Cyber Claims Report, which details emerging cyber trends and their impact on Coalition policyholders throughout the full year of 2024. The report found that ransomware claims stabilized in 2024 despite remaining the most costly and disruptive type of cyberattack. The majority of 2024 claims (60%) originated from business email compromise (BEC) and funds transfer fraud (FTF) incidents, with 29% of BEC events resulting in FTF. “Over the past year, our claims data clearly demonstrates one thing: Active Insurance works,” said Robert Jones, Global Head of Claims at Coalition. “Combining Coalition’s Active Data Graph, which provides a massive amount of data insights, with security tools and incident response helps Coalition prevent claims from happening in the first place. And, when matters were reported to Coalition, 56% were handled without any out-of-pocket payments by the policyholder. We believe that this proactive engagement is a critical aspect of reducing global cyber risk.” Ransom demands from threat actors decreased in 2024, dropping 22%...
