CrowdStrike filed a motion to dismiss Delta Air Lines' lawsuit regarding a July cybersecurity incident that caused flight cancellations. CrowdStrike argues that Delta's lawsuit attempts to bypass their contract, which includes clauses limiting liability and capping damages. CrowdStrike also claims Georgia law prevents Delta from converting a breach of contract into tort claims.
CrowdStrike moved Monday evening to dismiss Delta Air Lines ' lawsuit around the July cybersecurity outage that led to canceled flights.
"As an initial matter, Georgia's economic loss rule specifically precludes Delta's efforts to recover through tort claims the economic damages it claims to have suffered," CrowdStrike wrote.Delta said the July cybersecurity outage cost the company more than $500 million in canceled flights, refunds and passenger accommodations. It is seeking to recoup those costs from CrowdStrike through the suit.
Still, CrowdStrike said it moved quickly to try and help Delta — offers the cybersecurity company says were rebuffed."We are good for now," one message from a Delta executive cited by CrowdStrike read. The cybersecurity company said its executives were in close contact on the day of the outage.
