Group claiming CDK systems hack demands millions of dollars
Bloomberg News reports - A group of hackers claiming responsibility for a cyberattack on CDK's software systems has demanded millions of dollars in ransom to put an end to the hack, which affected auto dealers across the United States, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.
The group behind the attack is believed to be based in eastern Europe, according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The auto retail technology and software provider planned to pay the ransom, Bloomberg News reported.
CDK, which provides software to car dealerships, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
U.S. auto retailers Sonic Automotive and Penske Automotive flagged a hit to their operations on Friday, as CDK experienced a third consecutive day of outage.
