Autonews: CDK to be down for "a couple of days" at least

Brian's bonus just went poof. From the article:

“If you are not aware, we experienced an additional cyber incident late in the evening on June 19,” CDK’s latest note to customers said. “We continue to act out of caution, and to protect our customers, we have taken down most of our systems. Do not attempt to access the DMS until we can confirm the system is secure. Digital Retail and CDK phones continue to be functional. At this time, we do not have an estimated time frame for resolution and therefore our dealers’ systems will not be available likely for several days.”

Did you know that CDK is a user of VMware SD-WAN and SASE security since 2019? It didn't work so well this time, https://sase.vmware.com/resources/cdk-global

From your article, it appears Tekion and other DMS providers have disconnected from integrating with CDK:

Tekion, another major DMS provider in the U.S., is unaffected by any shutdowns, a company spokesperson told Automotive News via email. At the same time, it has shut down all integrations with CDK as a precaution, said Chase Fraser, founder and managing partner of Tekion investor FM Capital.
