CDK offers cloud-based software to more than 15,000 auto dealerships across North America. The software manages vehicle acquisitions, sales, financing, insuring, repairs and maintenance. Restoration has been underway for more than a week after a June 19 cyberattack and reported ransom demand forced the company to shut down its systems.

The company says the breach affected more than 1,000 customers. The hackers claim the number exceeds 500 million.
