Cybersecurity firm whose failed software update led to a global tech outage denies responsibility for Delta's flight disruptions.
CrowdStrike is hitting back at Delta Air Lines , accusing the carrier of trying to blame the cybersecurity firm for its own response to last month's devastating outage that resulted in thousands of canceled flights.The technology company's allegations came in a letter Sunday, with lawyers for CrowdStrike writing that Delta had rebuffed repeated offers of assistance, included one from its CEO George Kurtz to Ed Bastian, Delta's chief executive.
Delta declined to offer specific comment on the letter, but cited Bastian's prior remarks to CNBC, in which the CEO said the airline had no choice other than to sue CrowdStrike to seek damages for the carrier's outage-related losses. Bastian told CNBC the outage had cost Delta $500 million.
