CDK Global’s $25M Bitcoin Ransom: Dealerships in Disarray as Ransomware Wreaks Havoc

In a $25 million Bitcoin bonanza, CDK Global played the ransomware redemption round—and won back their cyber sovereignty. Dealerships, start your engines!

Hot Take:

Well, CDK Global just dropped a cool $25 million in Bitcoin like it was hot—because, let's be honest, getting your servers turned to digital Swiss cheese by ransomware is about as hot (and costly) as it gets. Car dealerships were stuck in first gear, and CDK's only way out of this cyber traffic jam was seemingly to make it rain crypto on the bad guys. Vroom vroom, pay up or stall!
