What to know about dealer, consumer, employee CDK lawsuits

Dealerships, current and former auto retail employees and consumers are among the plaintiffs in the 10 federal lawsuits filed so far against CDK Global in connection with its June 19 ransomware attacks and decision to take critical dealership software offline as a precaution. CDK reopened its dealership management system to most of its customers by July 2, though retailers are still working to relaunch third-party applications dependent on CDK.
