Don't Drive Yourself Into A Cyber Attack
As an Automotive Dealership, is of paramount importance that all information and that is received and/or disseminated remain private at all times. Dealerships are tasked with keeping information safe such as names, addresses, social security numbers, and income. Any sort of data breach, whether it be from a former employee or hacker somewhere across the world can mean the end of business for that dealership.
Situation: A local dealership just launched the "End Of Year Sales Event" in an effort to make room for the new inventory that was coming in. This promotion brought in a lot of prospective buyers who were eager to save money on their new vehicle purchase. While working with a young couple on getting them into the right vehicle for the best price, the salesperson received an email that seemed to come from the Finance office. The email marked as "Urgent" told the salesperson to open the attachment which held new, OEM-mandated offers for certain in-stock vehicles. He opens the attachment and there is nothing but a pause and then a large, red box appears. It says, "You have been infected with Ransomware. You must pay us 10 Bitcoin (approx. $27,000 USD) within the hour or we will release all of your customers' information." What do you do?
