DEARBORN, Mich. (WXYZ) — A cyberattack on a little-known company to most Americans is having a huge impact on car dealerships — and potentially their customers — nationwide.
CDK Global is a software company used by 15,000 car dealerships. Early Wednesday, it shut down its own systems to investigate a cyber incident.
Many of those systems were back up and running as of Wednesday night, but dealerships using CDK couldn’t finalize sales all day long. The full impact on customer data is still unknown.
