Penske Automotive

One of the six large dealership groups that disclosed the June 2024 CDK Global ransomware disruption to the SEC. The consumer-facing point is that a car buyer's exposure had nothing to do with which dealership group they chose - CDK controlled about half the dealer management software market, and the attack reached 15,000 locations at once. Estimated dealer losses across the industry ran from roughly $605 million to over $1 billion, with new-vehicle sales down 7.2% year over year that June.
