Individual cyber-insurance products in India generally reimburse (i) the cost of cleaning and restoring a system after a malware/ransomware attack, (ii) professional counselling/ reputation-management fees needed to mitigate harm from cyber-harassment, and (iii) legal-defence expenses if a third party sues for data theft. Damage that is wilfully caused by a government authority is an exclusion, so the cost of buying a new computer in such a case is not covered. Hence only statements 1, 3 and 4 are correct.
