CrowdStrike rejects Delta Air Lines claims over flight woes

CrowdStrike on Sunday rejected a claim by Delta Air Lines that it should be blamed for flight disruptions following a July 19 global outage sparked by a faulty update, and suggested it had minimal potential liability.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian said last week the outage had cost the U.S. airline $500 million and that it planned to take legal action to get compensation from the cybersecurity firm.
