CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that’s meant delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand. There’s no immediate end in sight, but CDK says it expects the restoration process to take “several days” to complete.

    Right.

    In reality, we’d end up with about a million Access “databases” (or Excel files) getting emailed around, lost, stolen, corrupted, etc (ask me how I know that lol).
