To pay, or not to pay, that is the question. Much like UnitedHealth when your back is against the wall, the boards choices are significantly reduced.

One suspects the attack on CDK is much broader and deeper than is being reported. The effects of the attack and payment of the ransom may indicate the maturity of the companies cybersecurity risk management, and the hold the threat actor has over the company Faisal Khan.

Paying the ransom sends an obvious message to threat actors. Not paying glues up U.S automotive sales and services. Third party supplier security is a significant problem.
