In a potentially groundbreaking dispute, Delta Air Lines is threatening to sue CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, for alleged negligence and breach of contract. This case brings to the...
Delta Air Lines has come out swinging at CrowdStrike in a letter accusing the security giant of trying to "Shift the blame" for the IT meltdown caused by its software - and that CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz's offer of support was too little, too late. Today, Delta laid out its defense for how it handled itself in the wake of that disastrous Falcon update, which grounded planes and ruined millions of Delta customers' plans.
Microsoft has labelled Delta Air Lines' accusations it's partly to blame for the outages caused by CrowdStrike's buggy software "False" and "Misleading" - and insulted the state of the carrier's IT infrastructure.

CNBC broke the news yesterday that Delta had hired famed lawyer David Boies to look into what the airline could do to recoup as much as an estimated $500 million in operational losses due to the July 19 CrowdStrike outage.
The US Department of Transportation is investigating Delta Air Lines over its handling of the global IT outage caused by CrowdStrike's content update. Delta has had a particularly rough time since Friday, consistently cancelling hundreds of flights a day.
