Brian Greenberg :verified:<p>A major cybersecurity legal case is moving forward. ✈️ Delta Air Lines proceeding with its $550M+ lawsuit against CrowdStrike over the July 2024 outage that canceled 7,000 flights and impacted 1.3M passengers.</p><p>⚖️ The court allowed claims of:<br>🧠 Gross negligence<br>💻 Computer trespass<br>🕵️‍♂️ Limited fraud</p><p>📉 Delta claims the update could have been caught with a simple test.
