Right now - a lot of hacked organizations may just say "it's not worth the payout" but if they are already paying insurance then of course they are going to tell the insurance company its important and ask for the ransom to be paid.

I think the bright spot of the ban would be that if it was legally enforced then all hackers would see this and quickly realize it wasn't worth the risk.

(Not sure if I'm for this 100% - but I think it is worth considering)

Interesting point. If this kind of insurance became widespread, that would be great news for the attackers.
