Oh, Joy. Dealership Software Provider Got Pwned.
Right, listen up, you lot. CDK Global, a company that basically runs the back-end for a *shitload* of car dealerships, got their systems hammered by some scumbags. We’re talking 766,000 clients potentially exposed – names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, even goddamn financial info. Fantastic. Just what we needed.
Apparently, this whole mess started back in September when they noticed “unauthorized activity.” September! They’re just *now* telling us? Idiots. The attackers used a vulnerability to get in and were poking around for months. Now everyone is scrambling like headless chickens.
CDK claims they’ve patched the hole (eventually) and are notifying affected people, but honestly, expect phishing emails galore. And don’t even *think* about trusting any “security” advice from these clowns. They couldn’t secure a lemonade stand, let alone sensitive customer data.
The worst part? This isn’t some small-time operation. It affects dealerships across the US and Canada. So yeah, if you bought a car recently, consider your identity mildly compromised. You’ve been warned.
Speaking of incompetence, reminds me of the time a sysadmin at my old job thought “two-factor authentication” meant sending everyone an email with the password reset link. Yeah, that went well. I quit shortly after.
