The effect of the CDK cyber attack across the U.S automotive sector is significant, demonstrating the effects of third party cyber attacks on supply chains and concentration risk.

The attack also highlights the complexity of cyber attacks, and a vector that is not often discussed. As CDK suffered a second cyber attack during the incident response process to the first attack. As the article points out those systems that CDK had restored experienced an additional cyber attack, forcing the company to shut down those restored systems. Demonstrating the complexity of the attack. One can only assume the attacker has access to CDK infrastructure, as it continues to exploit its systems?

One must remember the automotive sector drives U.S GDP (https://lnkd.in/eWPJAAkM) and a cyber attack that prevents U.S automotive sales will affect the economy.
