Delta CEO Reveals Eye-Popping Cost of Global Tech Outage

A botched software update earlier this month for cybersecurity software CrowdStrike affecting Microsoft computers led to a global IT meltdown that brought aviation to a screeching halt. Delta Air Lines the worst-affected, cancelling thousands of flights and working to get customers to their destinations, all while absorbing the costs of the debacle. 

Now, the airline needs to rebuild after what happened. Earlier this week, Delta hired a lawyer to explore seeking compensation from Microsoft and CrowdStrike, per Fox Business.
