CDK Global Aims To Restore Car Dealership Systems After Massive Outage Impacted 15,000 Clients Following Cyberattacks
Private software company CDK Global is reportedly looking to get car dealerships back online on its dealer management system (DMS) by July 4th, days after cyberattacks against the company left U.S. dealers in a fix.
据报道，私人软件公司CDK Global希望在7月4日之前让汽车经销商在其经销商管理系统（DMS）上恢复在线状态，此前几天，针对该公司的网络攻击使美国经销商陷入困境。
What Happened: All dealer connections are expected to be live on the DMS by late Wednesday, June 3, or early Morning Thursday, June 4, reported The Verge, citing CDK Global spokesperson Lisa Finney.
发生了什么：The Verge援引CDK Global发言人丽莎·芬尼的话报道，预计所有经销商联系将在6月3日星期三晚些时候或6月4日星期四清晨之前在DMS上线。
The personnel behind the cyberattack are reportedly linked to a group called BlackSuit.
据报道，网络攻击背后的人员与一个名为BlackSuit的组织有关。
"We are continuing our phased approach to the restoration process and are rapidly bringing dealers live on the Dealer Management System (DMS)," Finney said.
芬尼说：“我们正在继续分阶段进行修复过程，并正在迅速使经销商在经销商管理系统（DMS）上线。”
The company is working on restoring the system in a phased manner, the spokesperson reportedly said, while adding that its customer care channels have also been restored to ensure assistance to customers.
据报道，该发言人说，该公司正在分阶段恢复系统，同时补充说，其客户服务渠道也已恢复，以确保为客户提供帮助。
Additionally, the report says CDK Global has already brought two small groups of dealers and one large publicly traded dealer group back live on its DMS.
此外，报告称，CDK Global已经在其DMS上恢复了两小批交易商和一个大型上市交易商集团。
CDK did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
CDK没有立即回应本辛加的置评请求。
Why It Matters: CDK Global was hit by two cyberattacks on June 19th and June 20th, causing it to shut down its systems. This affected nearly 15,000 car dealerships in the U.S. that rely on CDK Global's software for various operations, including managing deal records, scheduling services, and storing critical customer information.
为何重要：CDK Global在6月19日和6月20日遭到两次网络攻击，导致其系统关闭。这影响了美国近15,000家汽车经销商，这些经销商依赖CDK Global的软件进行各种业务，包括管理交易记录、安排服务和存储关键客户信息。
The outage forced some of the dealers to even resort to manual methods.
停电迫使一些经销商甚至诉诸手动方法。
CDK Global was acquired by Brookfield Business Partners (NYSE:BBU) in 2022 for more than $8 billion.
CDK Global于2022年被布鲁克菲尔德商业伙伴公司（纽约证券交易所代码：BBU）以超过80亿美元的价格收购。
Earlier in June, another automotive-related company, Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:AAP), announced it was investigating a potential data attack connected to Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW).
6月初，另一家汽车相关公司Advance Auto Parts（纽约证券交易所代码：AAP）宣布正在调查与Snowflake（纽约证券交易所代码：SNOW）有关的潜在数据攻击。
