Car dealerships in North America revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider

Then, they look confused when I tell them I don't want the thing connected to the Internet.

Keep up the attacks, fuck ‘em

To be fair, the normal operation of dealership software is hardly distinguishable from a complete malware infection.

I've dealt with Reynolds and Reynolds, and ADP, and they are utter bags of moldy dogshit at the best of times.

My kid's doctor had their prescription service ransomwared. They paid it, and then got ransomwared again by the same folks.

I stopped using the dealership when they required paying by typing my card information into their http website. They said they couldn’t take physical cards anymore due to Covid. Then they handed me a pen to sign for the work to get my keys.

Now we just need to nuke them all from orbit and move to a better transit world.
