CDK Global Hit by Cyber Attack, Crippling Auto Dealerships
Massive Ransomware Disrupts Business Operations
A significant cyber attack has targeted CDK Global, a provider of software solutions to the automotive industry. The attack, which began on Monday, has encrypted the company's systems, demanding a ransom for their release.
Software Outage Impacts Dealerships
The cyber attack has caused widespread disruptions at auto dealerships that rely on CDK Global's software for managing sales, service, and inventory. Many dealerships have been forced to revert to manual paperwork, leading to significant delays and inconvenience.
CDK Global estimates that it may take several days for its software to be back online and operational, leaving auto dealerships in a state of limbo.
