Technology security security breach stolen data blackmail ransom ransomware hack hacker hacking hacked

With the recent CDK outage, it's broadly believed that they had no backups and resorted to paying the ransom on #ransomware in order to get a key and get their data restored. Someone proposed the idea that they might have been breached, had the data stolen and paid a blackmailer to keep them from releasing the data into the wild. Does this story make sense? Why or why not?
