Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
On
January 9, 2020, AutoWeb, Inc. (“Company” or “AutoWeb”) discovered that its
network was impacted by malware that encrypted servers on most
systems and disrupted consumer and customer access to many of our
services.
In
connection with this incident, third-party consultants and forensic
experts have been engaged to assist with the restoration and
remediation of systems and to investigate the incident.
While most impacted systems are once
again operational, work is ongoing to restore full system
functionality as quickly as possible. At this time, the
Company has not discovered evidence that causes the Company
to conclude that there has been any unauthorized access to or
acquisition of any consumer personal information or customer
confidential information.
The
Company carries insurance, including cyber insurance. The full
scope of the costs and related impacts of this incident, including
the availability of insurance to offset some of these costs and
related impacts of this incident, have not been fully
determined.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
