CDK Global Cyberattack: What We Know

No Data Breach, But Ongoing Investigation

CDK Global, a leading provider of automotive retail software, recently disclosed that it had been the target of a cyberattack.

However, the company has stated that there is no evidence of any data theft at this time. "We have no reason to believe that this issue involves access to or theft of sensitive customer data, including personal identifiable information (PII) or financial information," the company said in a statement.

CDK Global is working with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident and has taken steps to enhance its security measures.

The company has not disclosed any specific details about the nature of the cyberattack, but it is likely that it was a ransomware attack.

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for decrypting them.

CDK Global has not said whether it paid a ransom, but it is possible that the company did so in order to minimize the disruption to its business.

The cyberattack on CDK Global is a reminder that all businesses are at risk of being targeted by cybercriminals.

It is important for businesses to have a strong cybersecurity plan in place to protect their data and systems.

Here are some tips for businesses to protect themselves from cyberattacks:

• Use strong passwords and change them regularly.
• Keep software up to date with the latest security patches.
• Back up data regularly.
• Use a firewall to protect your network.
• Train employees on cybersecurity best practices.

Businesses should also consider purchasing cyber insurance to protect themselves from the financial losses that can result from a cyberattack.
