CDK Global – Automobile Dealerships Outages and Data Breach Class Action

Date of Initial Application: June 20, 2024

On June 19 and 20, 2024, multiple news outlets reported that the CDK Global entities were involved in at least two separate cyber incidents which lead to multiple weeks of massive computer system outages for CDK Global and all of its automobile dealership clients in Canada which use the CDK Global software products.

Lex Group Inc. and LPC Avocat Inc. have launched a national Canadian class action against various CDK Global entities regarding the outages and data breach that may have involved the theft of the personal and/or financial/payment information of CDK Global clients, including all persons and automobile dealerships in Canada whose information was compromised and/or who suffered damages as result of the CDK Global Outages which began on or about June 19, 2024.

The stolen information involved in this Data Breach may have included without limitation the CDK Global clients’ full names, date of birth and/or other personal or financial information.

The automobile dealerships’ financial information may have also been breached, including the information of the dealerships’ clients.

Finally, the Canadian automobile dealerships suffered significant damages as a result of the massive CDK Global outages.

Accordingly, if you have been a client of or dealt with CDK Global, in Canada, including Canadian automobile dealerships and their clients who experienced the CDK Global Outages, you may be part of the proposed Class defined by the class action initiated by our offices.

Should you be defined as a member of the class, you may be entitled to compensation should the Court authorize and grant the class action on the merits, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).

Please fill out the form below if you wish to be kept informed of the progress of this case.

If you wish to be kept informed and/or receive notification of major judgments rendered or notices in this case, please complete the form below.  Please note that providing your information in the form below creates no financial obligation for you and it does not create a lawyer/client relationship between yourself and Lex Group Inc.

Please be advised that the group definition of the people to be included in this class action may be changed or modified in the future by Court decision or by way of amendment filed by our firm.  We will not inform you or other members of the public if and when the group definition is changed.  It is therefore your sole responsibility to ensure that your own personal rights and recourses are being protected at all times during the course of these proceedings.  You may therefore wish to seek independent legal counsel in order to determine whether it would be in your best interest to pursue independent litigation in this matter (or any other matter), and to determine if you can potentially be included in this case if a final judgment is rendered or if a settlement is reached and approved by the Court.

By signing up to this class action, you are merely asking our firm to include you in our list of potential members in this class action, but our firm is not agreeing to represent your personal interests.  If a final judgment is rendered in this case, or if a settlement is reached (and approved by the Court), an e-mail may be sent to you and the relevant information may be posted on this website.  The Court will determine the manner and extent of any future notifications to class members.

Be advised that the information you provide will be included in our list of potential class members for this case, which list may be shared with and disclosed to the Courts and/or other parties in this action (at our discretion).  Rest assured that any such disclosure will be done in such a manner as to protect your personal information and confidentiality from unauthorized use, disclosure or publication.

Finally, be advised that the above-description and summary of the case is being posted on this website for your convenience.  However, in case of conflict between the information on this website and the actual proceedings, documents, and/or judgments in the Court record of this case, the official Court record documents will prevail.  We have for your convenience posted on this webpage certain scanned copies of the several relevant documents from the Court record, including the initial application for authorization to institute a class action which describes the case in much more detail.  You should therefore consult these documents as well as consult this website periodically in order to be kept informed.
