Delta Airlines hits out at CrowdStrike, alleging $500m loss


The US-based carrier has indicated it will sue both CrowdStrike and Microsoft for the damages

Delta Airlines has expressed frustration with CrowdStrike in a new letter on Thursday, as the two companies continue to trade jabs after last month's massive global network outage. The US-based carrier accused the cybersecurity company of "negligence", saying it was forced to cancel thousands of flights because of the outage and had lost at least $500m (£392m) as a result. Microsoft also said it would fight back, and added that its preliminary review shows Delta, unlike its competitors, was operating with an outdated IT infrastructure.
