A cyberattack against software provider CDK Global, which serves thousands of car dealerships across the United States, has been followed by a second cyber incident, leading to outages.

A first cyberattack affected the company earlier this week, the company said. However, a second notice sent to customers from CDK signaled that another cyberattack was carried out on June 19.
