Pendragon – the car dealership group which owns Evans Halshaw and Stratstone – has taken out a high court injunction after being subjected to a ransomware attack.
The £3.4 billion turnover business said its IT systems had been hacked but it was still able to operate as normal.
It said it had rejected the hackers’ demands – reported to be for $60 million (or around £54 million) – and reported the incident to UK government cybercrime agencies and the police.
