Dealerships across the U.S. have been left scrambling after CDK Global still hasn't reopened their systems Thursday.

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio — Dealerships across the U.S. have been left scrambling after CDK Global still hasn't reopened their systems Thursday.

"In Cuyahoga County, we have 76 new car dealers. So let's call it half of those are on CDK," Lou Vitantonio, the President of the Greater Cleveland Automotive Dealers Association, said. "Late in the evening of June 19, we experienced an additional cyber incident and proactively shut down most of our systems," announced Lisa Finney, CDK Global's senior manager of external communications."In partnership with third party experts we are assessing the impact and providing regular updates to our customers. We remain vigilant in our efforts to reinstate our services and get our dealers back to business as usual as quickly as possible.

Cybersecurity attacks and ransomware are not foreign to Cleveland. The city of Cleveland made it clear they would not be negotiating with the cyberattackers, which shut down critical services within City Hall for the last few weeks.
