The Daily Money: CDK outage draws to a close
Good morning! It’s Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money, data breach edition.
Following a cyberattack, car dealership software company CDK Global plans to restore services to all dealers by Thursday, Kinsey Crowley and Bailey Schulz report.
CDK offers cloud-based software to more than 15,000 auto dealerships across North America. The software manages vehicle acquisitions, sales, financing, insuring, repairs and maintenance. Restoration has been underway for more than a week after a June 19 cyberattack and reported ransom demand forced the company to shut down its systems.

Ticketmaster confirms that hackers have accessed customers' personal information, James Powel and Saleen Martin report.
Last week, consumers began posting a notice from Ticketmaster about a data breach. The notice, included in a filing with the Maine Attorney General, says that "an unauthorized third party obtained information from a cloud database hosted by a third-party data services provider" between April 2 and May 18.
The company says the breach affected more than 1,000 customers. The hackers claim the number exceeds 500 million.
