Delta hires lawyer for CrowdStrike outage

Delta Air Lines has hired prominent attorney David Boies to seek damages from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike and Microsoft following a significant system outage caused by a faulty software update from CrowdStrike. The incident, which occurred on July 18, 2024, led to widespread disruptions, including the delay of 46,013 flights and the cancellation of 5,171 flights globally, with Delta being particularly affected. The outage has cost Delta an estimated $350 million to $500 million and resulted in thousands of refund requests after the airline canceled over 6,000 flights【12†source】【13†source】.

The outage impacted numerous airlines, including Ryanair, Vueling Airlines, and Turkish Airlines, among others. Microsoft has been working closely with CrowdStrike to address the issue, deploying hundreds of engineers and collaborating with other cloud providers to restore services and mitigate the impact【13†source】.
