The CDK cyber outage has lasted for three consecutive days, affecting software management tools and operations at car dealerships across the U.S. The company shut down most of its systems due to cyberattacks and has not provided an estimated time frame for when systems will be back up and running.
CDK's cybersecurity strategy, as mentioned on their website, is a three-tiered approach to prevent, protect, and respond to cyberattacks1. This strategy aims to defend dealerships by maintaining consumer trust, guarding against unsecured devices and ransomware, training employees to spot and prevent phishing attacks, and providing robust cybersecurity to keep systems running and focus on customer service.
There is currently no specific date or time frame provided by CDK Global for the full restoration of its systems. The company has stated that they are working diligently with third-party experts to restore services as quickly as possible while ensuring the security of their customers.
