Retail technology and software provider CDK Global has begun restoring systems used by more than 15,000 retail locations in North America, the company said in a statement on Sunday, adding that it expects that the process takes “several days”.
“We continue to actively engage with our customers and offer them alternative ways to conduct their business,” CDK said in an emailed statement.
Last week, a dealer who received a letter from CDK said the company informed him that it could take several more days to get the systems up and running.
The company, which provides software to car dealerships, briefly shut down all of its systems on Wednesday, saying it was investigating a cyber incident.
U.S. auto retailers Sonic Automotive and Penske Automotive reported a hit to their operations Friday, as CDK experienced a third straight day of outages.
Bloomberg News previously reported that a group of hackers claiming responsibility for a cyberattack on CDK’s software systems had demanded millions of dollars in ransom to stop the hack.
Investment firm Brookfield Business Partners bought CDK in April 2022 for $6.41 billion, taking away the last major publicly traded provider of software for dealerships and automakers.
