A hacking group called BlackSuit is behind the cyberattack on CDK Global that’s paralyzed car sales across the North America, according to Allan Liska, a threat analyst at the security firm Recorded Future Inc.
CDK’s name was not listed June 24 on the website where BlackSuit names its extortion victims, a possible indication that the company is still in negotiations with the group or that it’s paid a ransom, said Liska, who specializes in ransomware investigations and has been in discussions with those involved in the CDK case.
BlackSuit appears to be a group of Russian and Eastern European hackers with a history of working with a group known as Royal Ransomware, according to Jon Clay, a threat intelligence researcher at the cybersecurity firm TrendMicro. It functions as a ransomware-as-a-service gang, in which members lease their technical tools to affiliates and demand a cut of any extortion payments.
Royal Ransomware targeted at least 350 victims and demanded more than US $275 million in ransom fees in 2022 and 2023, according to the FBI and CISA, a unit of the Department of Homeland Security.
