CrowdStrike sued by fliers after global IT outage disrupted air travel

CrowdStrike’s legal troubles from last month’s massive global computer outage deepened on Monday, as the cybersecurity company was sued by air travelers whose flights were delayed or canceled.

In a proposed class action filed in the Austin, Texas, federal court, three fliers blamed CrowdStrike’s negligence in testing and deploying its software for the outage, which also disrupted banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.
