Update added to bottom of the article.
Car dealership SaaS platform CDK Global suffered an additional breach Wednesday night as it was starting to restore systems shut down in an previous cyberattack.
CDK Global is a software-as-a-service platform that provides a full suite of applications to handle a car dealership's operation, including sales, back office, financing, inventory, and service and support.
CDK became aware that they were breached Tuesday night, causing them to shut down their data centers, IT systems, and login systems.
The attack led to a massive outage as car dealerships could not conduct their normal operations, including servicing or selling vehicles.
Last night, the company had begun to restore services, bringing their Unifi modern login service back online, though other systems were still being restored.
Unfortunately, as CDK was restoring its services, they were once again forced to shut down their systems after suffering another breach late yesterday evening.
"We are sorry to inform you that we experienced an additional cyber incident late in the evening on June 19th," reads a CDK notification seen by BleepingComputer.
