Automotive Dealerships Accounted for Nearly 20% of Those Affected by Cyberattacks in the Automotive Industry in 2022

According to a recent report by VicOne, automotive dealerships accounted for nearly 20% of those affected by cyberattacks in the automotive industry in 2022.   Cyberattacks typically come in two forms: Ransomware, which locks a user’s system until a ransom is paid, and data breaches, when information is stolen from a system.  Automotive dealerships are targets for data breaches because of the consumer information they retain.
