EAGERS AUTOMOTIVE SAYS IT OUTAGE STEMS FROM CYBER INCIDENT

By Ry Crozier

Dec 29 2023 8:04AM



SAYS "SOME" CAR DEALERSHIPS AFFECTED.

Eagers Automotive, which runs car dealerships nationwide, is trying to ascertain
the extent of a “cyber incident” it says is impacting IT systems in “some”
locations.



The ASX-listed company entered a trading halt earlier in the week [pdf], saying
only that it was needed to manage “continuous disclosure obligations in relation
to a cyber incident”.

Eagers yesterday provided a bit more information on the incident it is dealing
with, saying that an “outage is currently impacting our IT systems in some
operating locations across Australia and New Zealand”.



“The full extent of the cyber incident cannot yet be ascertained,” it said in an
updated ASX filing. [pdf]

“External experts have been appointed to support our response and an urgent
investigation is underway.



“The company has notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre and the New
Zealand National Cyber Security Centre.”

The company’s trading halt is expected to lift today; iTnews will update this
story if it reveals more on the cause or extent of the incident.
