Delta Air Lines has hired a prominent attorney to look into the prospect of suing CrowdStrike and Microsoft over the recent outage linked to the tech firms that crippled the airline.
Delta Air Lines is looking to potentially sue CrowdStrike and Microsoft for compensation after losing hundreds of millions of dollars due to disruptions in operations from the widespread outages linked to the two firms earlier this month. A source confirmed to FOX Business Delta has hired prominent attorney David Boies, chairman of Boies Schiller Flexner, to pursue possible damages from CrowdStrike and Microsoft. The news was first reported by CNBC.
The outage temporarily halted the airline industry, but Delta was hardest hit. Its operations were down for nearly a week while rivals were able to get back up and running after a day or two. Delta Chief Information Officer Rahul Samant explained in a video update to customers last week that 60% of the airline's "most critical applications that run the airline" are on Microsoft Windows, and "all of them were rendered inoperable" on the morning of the outage.
