Cybercriminals Are Targeting Dealerships – Here’s How to Stay Safe
Think Your Dealership Is Safe from Cyberattacks? Think Again.
While massive data breaches in large corporations dominate the news, hackers often prefer smaller dealerships. Without strong cybersecurity, they become easy targets.
- One dealership lost $50,000 to a fake invoice scam.
- Another dealership’s supplier payments were hijacked.
- Weak passwords exposed customer financial records.
But these financial losses were preventable.
The Most Common Cybersecurity Mistakes Dealerships Make
