CrowdStrike moved Monday evening to dismiss Delta Air Lines' lawsuit around the July cybersecurity outage that led to canceled flights.
CrowdStrike moved Monday evening to dismiss Delta Air Lines' lawsuit around the July cybersecurity outage that led to canceled flights.
The agreement between CrowdStrike and Delta includes a clause limiting CrowdStrike's liability and a cap on damages, which the cybersecurity provider says Delta is now trying to skirt. CrowdStrike also argued in its filing that Georgia law prevents Delta from converting a breach of contract into tort claims.
Delta said the July cybersecurity outage cost the company more than $500 million in canceled flights, refunds and passenger accommodations. It is seeking to recoup those costs from CrowdStrike through the suit. But the damage done to Delta's reputation as a premium carrier can't yet be quantified, nor has the impact of a Department of Transportation investigation into Delta over the outage.
Still, CrowdStrike said it moved quickly to try and help Delta — offers the cybersecurity company says were rebuffed. "We are good for now," one message from a Delta executive cited by CrowdStrike read. The cybersecurity company said its executives were in close contact on the day of the outage.CrowdStrike further argues that Delta's own practices and systems led to the widespread delays and cancellations, unlike other industry peers who recovered much more quickly from the outage.
