• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Cyberattack on BRP

Lovely more parts and delivery delays, just lovely. Just pray your left hand control cluster or any thing else nowadays doesn't go out anytime soon.

Pandemic , fires at factories, now this. Not looking good for BRP but I guess they must be making some sort of money to be able to buy out pinion gearboxes this week.

BRP Cyber event??

I was talking to the Service Dept at a local dealer and they mentioned that BRP suffered a “cyber event” this week and that some or all of their systems are down.

Has anyone else heard this?

I'm guessing that the cyber attack is the reason for this post?
 
The news this morning said that BRP would be down for another week because of the cyber attack.:cus::banghead::roflblack:
 
BRP needs to hire competent IT personnel. Data should have been backed up and key systems shouldn't have had internet access.

A rather simplistic answer considering we have no idea what actually happened. And what we also don't know is how many companies have been crippled by cyber attacks because they don't disclose such negative information.

I work in IT and can't tell you how many systems I have seen where the administrators haven't locked out remote admin, they haven't secured configuration of the web server software/OS, or haven't isolated key systems. We probably won't know what caused the shutdown, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

It is possible that there has been some mistake or that the company's management has said that famous phrase: "we manufacture motorcycles, we are not a bank" in order to save money, but as a former head of security for a multinational during a lot of years I can guarantee that "the bad guys" almost always are one step ahead
