Cyber Double Whammy: CDK Global Hit by Back-to-Back Attacks, Car Dealerships Stalled
CDK Global faces a second cyberattack while still recovering from the first, forcing major US car dealerships to revert to pen and paper operations.
Hot Take:
CDK Global’s attempt at a comeback was like trying to fix a flat tire with a rubber band. They got hacked while trying to recover from a hack. It’s like getting a paper cut while treating a paper cut—ironic and painful!
Key Points:
- CDK Global, a car dealer software provider, experienced a second cyberattack while recovering from the first.
- The company had to take most of its services offline again, leaving U.S. car dealerships in limbo.
- Dealerships are operating manually with pen and paper, handling only the most basic tasks.
- CDK Global has no estimated time frame for full system restoration.
- No indication yet if the attack involved ransomware or data theft.
