Hacked Software Firm CDK Expects All Dealers Live by July 4
- CDK had said it didn’t expect systems online prior to June 30
- Some dealerships are losing revenue amid slow sales, demand
CDK Global, the software provider to roughly 15,000 car dealerships across North America that was hacked nearly two weeks ago, said it anticipates all dealers will be live by late evening July 3 or early morning July 4.
CDK suffered two cyberattacks that forced its systems offline for days, slowing down everything from scheduling and service repairs to parts deliveries and car purchases at auto dealerships in both the US and Canada. On June 24, the Illinois-based company signaled to customers that the disruptions could persist until the end of the month.
