'Everything is frozen, everything is tied up,' one auto dealership owner said after cyberattacks crippled software maker CDK Global.
Car dealers across the U.S. are floundering after cyberattacks this week on CDK Global, a maker of software used to operate their businesses, made it all but impossible to sell vehicles. Tom Maioli, who owns Celebrity Motor Car Company, which operates five luxury car dealerships across New York and New Jersey, told CBS MoneyWatch his business is 'completely shut down.''We cannot process paperwork.
'We are very dependent upon the DMS, and it affects all parts of our business,' he said. 'It generates all of our forms. If you come in, we enter you in the system, it builds a file in terms of paperwork and finance papers, and right now none of that is functioning.'Pohanka, who said the dealership still has phone and internet service, said the business is doing its best to keep sales rolling.
