Last month, litigation attorneys Tom Vangel, Jamie Radke and Lindsey McComber co-authored an article titled, “CDK Breach Update – Next Steps for Dealers,” for Massachusetts Auto Dealer on the topic of the CDK Global data breach that disrupted the business operations of approximately 15,000 dealerships across the U.S. and Canada in the month of June.
The article offers guidance on how dealers can mitigate current losses and liabilities as well as manage similar risks in the future. Though CDK Global’s software has been restored, many dealerships are still waiting for the return of important data so that they can resume normal operations.
Tom, Jamie and Lindsey recommend that dealers perform their own due diligence and work with attorneys to develop long-term data security and continuity plans to ensure the protection of their businesses in the face of possible future attacks.
