Car dealerships in North America revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider (apnews.com)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/23769946

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.

CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.

On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.

I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I'd love to hear from folks who know more than me.

Why school segregation is getting worse by MHSJenkins in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] MHSJenkins@infosec.pub 28 points 6 months ago

School segregation got reinvented under many other names, including "redlining" and "public housing" and "urban renewal."

The folks in power have numerous strategies available to keep people in their place, as it were.

The loss of public trust in the CDC in particular and public health in general are a huge problem. We'll need a generation or two to fix it.

Renters need to make roughly $20,000 more a year to afford the typical rent than they did 5 years ago by MHSJenkins in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] MHSJenkins@infosec.pub 18 points 6 months ago

I can tell you that an average 2-bedroom apartment was about 600USD when I moved to the city I currenlty live in. Today the cheapest apartment in town is 1300USA/month and getting higher. If I hadn't been lucky enough to buy a house when I did, I couldn't afford to live anymore.
