Delta Air Lines sued cloud strike why the others not

Since JP Aire line has not been impacted.

Delta filed a lawsuit against Crowdstrike, Inc. of Georgia (USA) for breach of contract and negligence following the July 7.000 incident in which approximately seven flights were canceled. Other airlines recovered more quickly than Delta.

Delta Air Lines has hired a law firm to seek compensation from CloudStrike and Microsoft. In the lawsuit, the airline claimed that CrowdStrike caused a worldwide disaster by shortening and destroying the testing and certification process that it had advertised for commercial and private gain. If CrowdStrike tested the update on even one computer before rolling it out, that computer would crash.”

Delta disabled automatic updates from CrowdStrike, but the error still spread to its computers. The company accused CrowdStrike’s Falcon software of creating and exploiting Windows windows that it never authorized.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz apologized for the incident and promised to make changes to prevent similar occurrences.

In a reply email sent to CNBC, the software company said that Delta’s allegations are based on unproven misinformation, a lack of understanding of how modern security systems work, and a delay in recovery due to a failure to modernize an outdated IT infrastructure that others He said it reflects a desperate attempt to blame others for the delays in recovering from the failure to modernize outdated IT infrastructure.

I was in rural Japan that night and my Hong Kong friends were in Fukuoka. When I heard about this incident on the news, I immediately called JAL and they said there was no problem with their operation. My friend in Hong Kong also left for Sapporo on ANA the next day. What this shows is not that Japanese airlines were using outdated operating systems such as Windows 7 or Vista, but that they had prepared a backup system that was strong enough to withstand failover.
