Delta’s CEO said that the CrowdStrike outage cost the airline $500 million in 5 days
Delta Airlines has sued Microsoft’s cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike over the software outage last month which led to thousands of flight cancellations. Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian said, “If you want priority access to the Delta, you need to fix the flaw in CrowdStrike’s deployment processes.” “You can’t come into a mission-critical 24/7 operation and tell us we have a bug,” he added.
Delta is having a hard time recovering after Crowdstrike failures
Delta Air Lines was forced to cancel nearly 3,000 flights from Friday till Sunday as a result of a security breach, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a public letter. Several Delta applications run on Microsoft Windows, causing several of the tools to be impacted in the outage, he added. Delta offered travel waivers to customers on flights impacted by the outage.
