CDK Global Car Crash: Dealership Software Down After Double Cyberattack Disaster

CDK Global, the software giant for 15,000 North American car dealerships, is down after a cyberattack. Dealerships are back to pen and paper, proving that sometimes the future really is written in ink.

Hot Take:

Looks like CDK Global’s software is having a worse week than a car with a blown head gasket! Who knew we’d be time-traveling back to the 90s with pen and paper? At this rate, dealerships might start trading in their computers for typewriters. Keep those pens handy, folks!

Key Points:

  • CDK Global down for the second day after a cyberattack.
  • Dealerships across North America unable to access vital internal systems.
  • CDK Global initially restored systems only to shut them down again after a second incident.
  • Dealerships revert to manual processes; back to the good ol’ paper and pen days.
  • No information on the cause or perpetrator of the attack, and no ETA for resolution.
