CDK Global cyberattack still crippling car dealers

American car dealers could lose nearly $1 billion due to an ongoing cyberattack on software provider CDK Global. Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer of Mandiant Consulting, the security consulting organization of Google Cloud, joins CBS News to discuss how the hack is crippling operations, and what can be done to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

lol I have no sympathy for car dealers

[@PhiLLyPhiLLz]

Right. Car prices doubled in 2 years because of these greedy dealerships.

[@Wolfcamp555]

​@@PhiLLyPhiLLz Greedy labor unions

[@stuntmasta305]

@@Wolfcamp555im pretty sure the manufacturer gives MSRP, than dealers sell at the price they want. There is a reason why cars are more expensive from a middle man

[@basedpinkcanary3624]

Why? they not forcing you buy/service a car

[@jimk8520]

Yeah, the 99.8% of them give the 0.2% a bad reputation.

[@PhiLLyPhiLLz]

My dealership is messed up too, I was there last week for service and we were doing everything by paper and Airdrop.

[@bradhuffjr777]

I had to buy a part from a local dealership so I could fix my own vehicle and it was an extra PITA and I literally got a handwritten receipt.

Keep your core business systems local and off the grid.🤔

[@rorytribbet6424]

Helps you defend but limits what those systems can do. Businesses need to way the cost/benefit of using software like cdk.

[@dreadfuldonkey]

There is nothing that man can’t make that man can’t Hack , duh

[@fakerrain]

I feel like some USB drives were dropped and sales personnel just plugged those in... cyber security training doesn't seem like a high priority.

[@angelinimartini]

Outage with less car demand due to higher interest rates and high car prices… means we can likely get a heck of a deal.

[@USMC0311-jz5gy]

we have been waiting for the deals but nothing here but low inventory and crappy incentives.

[@brianjohnson6053]

There will be no deals, prices will go up to compensate lost revenue. Still lots of fools that will pay obscene prices, and astronomical interest rates. Nothing will change

[@angelinimartini]

@@USMC0311-jz5gy where are you?

[@user-zl1fz4qm3f]

Stop using the stupid term "Threat Actors." Just say "Hackers!" omg...seriously

They need to be cleared by each state to reopen.

[@blueowlwill8754]

Oh please

[@rorytribbet6424]

He really did not do a good job putting this stuff into laymen’s terms, coming from someone who works in cybersecurity. It’s important to really clearly communicate what the issues are and what people can do to defend against them, if you are too vague/assume the audience knows more then they do you miss the opportunity to hammer home the importance of taking these defensive measures.

[@ExceptionalLibra]

Correct

[@MrProTechHD]

this is great

[@gdt5430]

Move back to Main Frame/Mini environments and use 3270 type terminals for access to the systems. Pretty hard to hack a system you can't get to from outside.

[@NoShortsNoLossesEver]

Its all about control.

[@cedmc6711]

Use paper

[@basedpinkcanary3624]

CDK is back at some stores but not 100%

[@user-on7cu3uc7p]

How can cars built in America cost 50k but I can get a Mitsubishi for 20k

[@cormaro13]

Cause that Mitsubishi is a pos and they’re always cheap , don’t compare a mustang gt to that 😂

[@Owjdnskoakansbskk]

Several weeks is more than a month and pretty much the same thing as a few months.

[@rorytribbet6424]

Several weeks is 3 weeks +… so no not really

Time to switch services lol not the only one out there

This expert is talking to his peers and not to the general public. Find someone else.

CRIPPLED

[@ben_r_]

Cool, now they’ll have another excuse to charge more for cars.

[@jgarcia8320]

This is a gift 🎁 dealership’s have been taking advantage of consumers for too long without government providing consumer protections especially during COVID times. Dealerships artificially inflated prices and called it “market Adjustment “ 😂 karma to the rescue 😂

Wah wah wah

Why should it take a few weeks? If effectively backed up daily behind a secure firewall, systems should be able to be scanned, secured, and restored in days, no?

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

Well, they have to find the vulnerabilities in the system and fix them. Then they have to run a boatload of tests. It isn't as easy and quick as flipping a switch. It wouldn't surprise me if they would end up turning everything on without being 100% sure they fixed all vulnerabilities. In reality, they'll never get rid of all of them. There is no such thing as a completely secure system.

[@DarthJay91]

If they pay the hackers I'll boycott

[@expertpkedu]

That's what the dealership gets! Charging ridiculous fees and charges vehicles over MSRP.

[@stuntmasta305]

Good riddance, car dealerships bump up the price of these cars

[@pezwarrior4]

If it was me, I would rebuild the whole system

[@cybersteady]

Shouldn't have penny pinched on cybersecurity. This is the results

[@singhjobim9719]

How do you know SkyNet hasn't already started to takeover? Satellites and self-driving electric cars would be one of the first targets for total AI domination.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

I gotta say: I still do not care. Car dealerships are places of abuse and fraud. If they are having to work harder: good. I do not feel sorry for these entities. I only feel bad for how this kinda stuff tends to roll downhill. I feel sorry for the people who might be fired, in the process.

[@Holupgarcon]

No one cares what you care about Phil

woo hooo keep it going
