Massive auto dealer outage: CDK Global says it won't be able to come back online this month

CDK Global, the retail software provider, expects its systems to remain offline until June 30 after a cybersecurity incident caused a widespread outage for nearly 15,000 car dealerships in North America. The company is working to restore its core application but warns it won’t be able to get all dealerships back online before the end of the month. This outage has disrupted auto sales during peak car buying season, leaving dealerships to resort to manual methods for fulfilling orders and affecting services like state inspections, repairs, and parts deliveries. CDK is investigating the incident but has not disclosed the hackers responsible.
