U.S. car dealerships facing software outages resort to pen and paper as CDK Global struggles with cyberattacks.

The U.S. auto industry is in turmoil as car dealerships grapple with the aftermath of a cyberattack on CDK Global, a major software provider. The ransomware incident has forced dealers to revert to manual paperwork, disrupting business operations across the country. CDK Global, in the midst of negotiations with threat actors over a ransom payment, is working tirelessly to restore its systems and alleviate the impact on dealers.

Amid the chaos, Group 1 Automotive and other dealerships have reported significant disruptions due to the CDK cyberattack. Despite the challenges, dealers are adapting to alternative processes to ensure business continuity while waiting for CDK's systems to come back online. The reliance on traditional methods like pens and paper showcases the vulnerability of the automotive industry to cyber threats and the importance of robust cybersecurity measures.

As CDK Global begins the restoration process, the repercussions of the cyberattack reverberate throughout North America, highlighting the interconnectedness of the automotive supply chain. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the increasing cybersecurity risks faced by businesses in the digital age and underscores the need for proactive cybersecurity strategies to safeguard sensitive data and operations.
