#CDK Files Notice of #Breach in Maine An interesting filing from CDK's outside counsel appeared over the weekend on the Maine AG's website. Maine, like many other states, requires notification of the state attorney general if a #breach occurs that affects Maine residents. This filing with the Maine AG states that an "external system breach (hacking)" event occurred at CDK on June 14, 2024, that was discovered on June 19, 2024, and that CDK has offered credit monitoring to affected individuals. The details are scarce, and this filing describes a very limited impact (affecting only one Maine resident, and 36 individuals in total), but it appears to be the first public acknowledgement of which we are aware from CDK that personally identifiable #data was #breached in June 2024. According to the CDK notice letter - https://lnkd.in/e2ffyWzf - the data involved included "Name, business or personal address, and business tax identification number or social security number." Exactly what this means is unclear.  The dates listed align with the CDK data breach incident in June 2024, but it is not clear how this apparently very limited breach event is linked to that broader event (if at all), why this was issued now*, what data was involved, whether there is any impact on any dealer data, or whether this is the first or last of such notices to be filed. *The notice letter is dated September 20, 2024, the date it appears to have been reported to the Maine AG was September 23, 2024, but was just posted on the Maine AG site over the weekend.

protip: if you don't know if your company qualifies as a "data broker" in California, a quick check in with your lawyer is cheaper than the $200/day fine for not registering. (If this LinkedIn post saved you $ by reminding you to register, you can thank me by giving me a Right to Delete)
