Motility’s Cyber Oops: 766,000 Customers’ Data Goes for a (Not-So-Fun) Ride!
Motility Software Solutions had a bad hair day when a ransomware attack exposed the sensitive data of 766,000 customers. Motility, provider of dealer management software, now offers free identity monitoring services. While no evidence of misuse has surfaced, customers should stay vigilant and keep an eye on their credit reports.
Hot Take:
Ah, ransomware—the cyber equivalent of finding out the hard way that your “smart” fridge has been plotting against you.

Now, 766,000 customers are stuck in the cyber equivalent of a B-movie plot twist. To put it bluntly, this is why we can’t have nice things—or at least, why we can’t let hackers near them.
