Class action blamed Crowdstrike’s negligence in testing software for massive outage
CrowdStrike’s legal troubles from last month’s massive global computer outage deepened on Monday, as the cybersecurity company was sued by air travellers whose flights were delayed or cancelled.
The plaintiffs said that as fliers scrambled to get to their destinations, many spent hundreds of dollars on lodging, meals and alternative travel, while others missed work or suffered health problems from having to sleep on the airport floor. CrowdStrike said in a statement: “We believe this case lacks merit and we will vigorously defend the company.”
On Sunday, CrowdStrike said it was neither grossly negligent nor at fault for Delta’s problems, and that the Atlanta-based carrier did not accept its offer for help.
