Boies, hired to lead Delta’s lawsuit against CrowdStrike, said the tech company was “grossly negligent” and was solely responsible for the outage. But Boies called Delta’s IT systems “world class” and claimed Delta’s outage lasted longer because it was so heavily reliant on CrowdStrike and Microsoft. He also disputed the companies’ claims that Delta turned down help and worked around the clock to bring Delta back online. “CrowdStrike also did not work “tirelessly” to help Delta restore its systems,” Boies said. CrowdStrike said Delta ignored its help, and Microsoft said Delta’s mismanagement contributed to the cancellations.
