A major car dealership system got hit by cyberattacks
When were the cyberattacks on CDK Global reported to have occurred?
The cyberattacks on CDK Global were reported to have occurred on Wednesday, forcing the company to shut down its systems. A second cyber incident happened later on Wednesday evening, leading CDK to proactively shut down most of its systems again.
How did the cyberattacks impact individual dealerships' operations?
The cyberattacks on CDK Global forced dealerships to pause new business, such as car servicing or making new appointments, as they couldn't access customer records or even print out a repair order. This hindered sales and service operations at the dealerships.
Did CDK Global provide a timeline for restoring its systems?
CDK Global did not provide a specific timeline for restoring its systems after the cyberattacks. The company stated it was assessing the impact and consulting with experts about the situation, but did not know when systems would be brought back online.
