CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. has refuted claims of responsibility for the disruption Delta Air Lines faced in the aftermath of the cybersecurity firm's IT outage in July.
"Should Delta pursue this path, Delta will have to explain to the public, its shareholders, and ultimately a jury why CrowdStrike took responsibility for its actions—swiftly, transparently, and constructively—while Delta did not," an attorney at law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, Michael Carlinsky, said in the letter shared by The Wall Street Journal.
The US carrier Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ed Bastian said that the massive IT glitch cost the company $500 million.
