Delta Will Have To 'Explain' Why It Didn't Take Responsibility — Security Company's Lawyers Fireback At Tech Crash-Hit Airline After It Threatens To Sue Microsoft And CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) has responded to Delta Air Lines Inc.'s (NYSE:DAL) decision to pursue damages against the cybersecurity company and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). They claimed that the airline did not respond to their offer of help during a major system outage last month.
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.（纳斯达克：CRWD）已对Delta Air Lines Inc.（纽交所：DAL）寻求赔偿网络安全公司和Microsoft Corporation（纳斯达克：MSFT）的决定做出回应。他们声称，航空公司在上月发生严重系统故障期间没有回应他们的帮助提供。
What Happened: In a letter on Sunday, from attorneys for the technology firm, CrowdStrike said that its CEO George Kurtz personally reached out to Delta CEO Ed Bastian, but received no response.
发自科技公司律师的一封信中，CrowdStrike表示，其CEO George Kurtz亲自与Delta首席执行官Ed Bastian联系，但没有得到回应。
"CrowdStrike's CEO personally reached out to Delta's CEO to offer onsite assistance, but received no response," stated the letter signed by Michael Carlinsky, co-managing partner of the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart和Sullivan律师事务所合伙人之一Michael Carlinsky签署的信件中指出：“CrowdStrike的CEO亲自与Delta的CEO联系，提供现场帮助，但未得到回应。”
The letter also addressed Delta's seeking legal actions, saying that the airline's threats of a lawsuit have perpetuated a "misleading narrative."
信件还就Delta寻求法律行动提出了意见，称航空公司的诉讼威胁误导了公众。
"Should Delta pursue this path, Delta will have to explain to the public, its shareholders, and ultimately a jury why CrowdStrike took responsibility for its actions—swiftly, transparently, and constructively—while Delta did not," the letter read.
信件写道：“如果Delta选择这条路，那么它必须向公众、股东以及最终的陪审团解释，为什么CrowdStrike迅速、透明地、富有建设性地承担了责任，而Delta没有。”

Delta的系统故障导致数千航班取消，引发了对这家美国航空公司的联邦调查。这家总部位于亚特兰大的航空公司受到了重大影响，在故障后的几天里一直难以正常化飞行运营。
