Imagine needing a part for your car, and the store tells you they’ve had a bit of trouble because their computers got attacked by hackers. That’s kind of what happened recently to LKQ, a big company that sells auto parts. They had a cyberattack that messed up their business in Canada.

So, what’s a cyberattack? It’s when bad guys, or hackers, break into a computer system and cause problems. They can steal things, lock up the system so nobody can use it, or just make a mess of everything. It’s like someone sneaking into a locked building and causing trouble.

LKQ told the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is like the school principal for businesses, that this cyberattack caused them real headaches. Because of the attack, they couldn’t do business as usual, which probably frustrated a lot of people who just wanted parts for their cars.

It’s a reminder for all businesses, big or small, that keeping computer systems safe is super important. Just like you wouldn’t leave the door to your house unlocked, companies need to lock up their computers so hackers can’t get in.
