Delta Air Lines Enlists Prominent Attorney David Boies to Pursue Damages Over Devastating CrowdStricke Outage

Delta Air Lines has hired prominent attorney David Boies to seek damages from CrowdStrike and Microsoft following an outage earlier this month that caused millions of computers to crash and led to thousands of flight cancellations. On July 19th, a software update from CrowdStrike led to a historic outage of Microsoft systems, knocking numerous industries offline. Airlines were hit hard, with Delta suffering widespread flight disruptions and service failures. The Department of Transportation is investigating Delta for thousands of flight cancellations, as the airline handles hundreds of thousands of refund and reimbursement requests.
