CNN —As the ongoing systems outage at software provider CDK Global stretches into its second week, car dealerships are racking up millions of dollars in losses, according to a new estimate. Piecemeal progressThe outage began last Wednesday after two cyber incidents halted the company’s systems, which provide software to nearly 15,000 car dealerships across North America, according to CDK. “I work at a major body shop, and it has really hurt us,” one worker wrote to CNN about the outage. “15,000 dealerships is an awful lot to have control over when you do the math,” Irvin said of CDK. And after more than a week at home, Phillips’ boss texted him to return to work on Friday.
