CrowdStrike faces onslaught of legal action from faulty software update
When the now infamous CrowdStrike software update took down companies all over the world in July, it was inevitable that lawsuits would follow — and follow they have. Delta threatening to sue the company for as much as $500 million in damages and hiring lawyer David Boies is perhaps the highest-profile example.
Among Boies’ wide range of high-profile clients are Theranos, Harvey Weinstein, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and Al Gore in Bush v. Gore around the results of the 2000 presidential election. He also led the government’s antitrust case against Microsoft in the 1990s.
Even before Delta came forward, shareholders were looking for their pound of flesh, filing a class action lawsuit against CrowdStrike alleging that the company had misled them regarding its software update procedures.
