Delta rejects CrowdStrike criticism over software update

AFP

Delta Air said it is pursuing legal claims against CrowdStrike and Microsoft after the global outage sparked by a faulty software update disrupted the travel plans of 1.3 million Delta passengers and cost the airline more than $500 million.

"There is no basis to suggest that Delta was in any way responsible for the faulty software that crashed systems around the world, including Delta’s," wrote lawyer David Boies, who is representing Delta, to CrowdStrike.

He also rejected CrowdStrike's contention that the company's liability is capped at “single-digit millions."

Last month's tech glitch affected global airlines, banks and retail and supermarket industries around the world.
