CrowdStrike says it is "deeply disappointed" and rejects claims by Delta and its lawyers that the seller was grossly negligent in the events that led to the global IT outage just over two weeks ago.

That's according to a letter seen by The Reg and sent to David Boies, a partner at law firm Delta hired to explore the airline's legal options after it struggled more than most to get its systems back online, leading to an extensive list over canceled flights.
The Falcon vendor reiterated its apology to Delta and the wider customer base. It then went on to remind Boies, known for its work as special counsel in the 1990s US antitrust trial against Microsoft, that it had been proactive in reaching out to Delta and offering support to the airline "within hours" of the incident unfolding.
"Delta's public threat of litigation distracts from this work and has contributed to a misleading narrative that CrowdStrike is responsible for Delta's IT decisions and response to the outage," the letter said.
