CDK Tells Customers Dealer System Likely Down Until June 30

Car dealerships crippled by a cyberattack on software provider CDK Global probably won’t have their systems restored until the end of the month.

In a message to clients Tuesday, CDK warned dealerships that because the outages could persist until June 30, they may need to make alternative plans on how to handle their end-of-month finances. Thousands of dealerships, which rely on CDK’s software for nearly every business function, ground to a halt last week following the compromise.
