/EIN News/ — BROOKFIELD, NEWS, July 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brookfield Business Partners (NYSE: BBUC, BBU; TSX: BBUC, BBU.UN) announced today an update on the restoration of systems at its dealer software and technology services operation, CDK Global (“the business” or “CDK”).
On June 19, CDK detected and promptly responded to unauthorized cyber activity on its network. CDK proactively shut all systems down, engaged third-party experts to address and investigate the issue and notified law enforcement.
CDK has successfully brought substantially all customers back onto its core dealer management system in advance of the July 4 holiday weekend in the U.S. The business is also working to bring back online other applications including its Customer Relationship Management and Services solutions. In the interim, CDK continues to actively engage with its customers to support their sales and service efforts.
We do not expect this incident to have a material impact on Brookfield Business Partners.
CDK is the leading provider of software solutions to automotive dealers. Since our acquisition in 2022, CDK has made significant investment in its technology and product offering and is committed to continuing to be a best-in-class partner to its customers.
