More U.S. auto dealers<\/a> flagged a hit from an outage of CDK’s software system due to a cyber attack on Monday as the company worked to restore systems used by over 15,000 retail locations across North America.<\/p>\n

AutoNation, a leading auto retailer in the U.S. said the outage was disruptive and had adversely impacted its business though its outlets remain open, continuing to sell, service, and buy vehicles.<\/p>\n

“As the incident is ongoing, the full scope, nature and impact of the incident is not yet known,” AutoNation said.<\/p>\n

The company and peer Group 1 Automotive said they were using alternative processes such as manual paperwork to conduct their business. Both said they had taken precautionary steps to protect their data.<\/p>\n

“The timing of the restoration of other impacted CDK applications remains unclear at this time,” Group 1 said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg News<\/em> reported on Friday that a group of hackers claiming responsibility for the attack on CDK’s software systems had demanded millions of dollars in ransom to put an end to the hack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though auto retailers have not detailed their sales hit, analysts have flagged a possible impact. “We note some potential risk to late-June (U.S. auto sales<\/a>) volume from the reported CDK dealer<\/a> disruptions,” Citi analysts said in a note last week.<\/p>\n

Auto retailer Sonic<\/a> Automotive, last week, said the CDK outage was likely to have a negative impact on its business operations until the systems were fully restored.<\/p>\n

Penske Automotive said its Premier Truck Group business had implemented business continuity plans in response to the outage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
