CrowdStrike's lawyers have clarified critical pieces of information regarding the Delta lawsuit it faces, and according to an email it sent (via David Slotnick), the airline is also responsible for its delayed flights. It was revealed by the letter that Delta refused CrowdStrike's proposition of sending for "on-site assistance" to the airline amidst the issue.
However, Delta did not respond to this offer from CrowdStrike, and this led to significant delays to its operations, further pushing back on the way to help them return their services.
In the letter, CrowdStrike said that it is still apologizing for how its outage affected customers and employees, but claimed that it was Delta's negligence that escalated the issues further.
It is known that Delta's operations faced days-long outages which significantly affected its customers, with CrowdStrike claiming that its competitors, who also faced the problems, brought back their operations faster. CrowdStrike also said that this lawsuit from Delta is "misleading the narrative," saying that the airline is responsible for its "IT decisions."
CrowdStrike also addressed that it will not back down from this legal fight from Delta, but will also be open to cooperating with the airline moving forward.
CrowdStrike Brought Down the Tech World
Towards the end of the week, Microsoft was significantly affected by CrowdStrike's previous faulty update which led to a significant global outage, widely affecting Windows-based computers.
This led to not only disrupting the Windows OS but also affecting critical infrastructures worldwide, including multiple flights being grounded and causing massive problems.
In the past weeks, CrowdStrike has owned up to its mistakes and helped infrastructures and affected companies get back on their feet, centering on fixing its problems and offering further assistance. Apart from this, CrowdStrike also released various helpful information as well as a new 'Guidance Hub' which offers facts about the recent outage.
Weeks have already passed since the faulty CrowdStrike update which brought down almost the entire world which relyon Microsoft Windows, one of the top affected services in this outage. Delta is among the victims and filed a lawsuit against CrowdStrike for its days-long delays, but the company is not letting this slide, claiming that it offered assistance, and the airlines misleading the world about what transpired.
