The CDK Attack - Bill talks with KSN about a breach affecting car dealerships across the country
Car dealerships across North America have had to go back to using pen & paper after software giant CDK Global got hit with back-to-back cyberattacks, leading to an outage.
CDK makes the software that thousands of car dealerships use to run their day-to-day operations, including vehicle sales and financing paperwork. The attack appears to be a ransomware situation, and untold amounts of personal data could be at risk.
KSN Channel 3 turned to Bill to give his insights on the situation.
See the full story and video here:
Those affected, or who think they might be affected, will want to monitor, and consider freezing, their credit. There may be a wave of phishing and scam attempts trying to cash in on the situation as well - be on the lookout and think critically about anyone trying to contact you in regards to the breach, especially if they claim to be from CDK.
