Cybersecurity software company CrowdStrike is firing back at Delta Air Lines. The companies are arguing over who’s to blame for Delta canceling thousands of flights after a global technology outage last month. A lawyer for CrowdStrike says Delta’s threat to sue the software company has contributed to a “misleading narrative” that CrowdStrike is responsible for Delta’s response to the outage. He questions why Delta took so much longer than other airlines to recover from the outage. A faulty software update from CrowdStrike to more than 8 million computers using Microsoft Windows disrupted airlines, banks, retailers and other businesses on July 19.
