A Delta spokesperson said the airline "will decline to comment further." ®

Huh, did they really register that sentence? :D

Also, the CS response to the accusations should have been at the beginning, not near the end of the article, because it does provide some pretty important context, including links to LinkedIn posts from Delta board members that directly contradict most of the article:

When asked about this August 8 letter from Delta, a CrowdStrike spokesperson told The Register:

Delta continues to push a misleading narrative. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz called Delta board member David DeWalt within four hours of the incident on July 19th. CrowdStrike's Chief Security Officer was in direct contact with Delta's CISO within hours of the incident, providing information and offering support.

CrowdStrike's and Delta's teams worked closely together within hours of the incident, with CrowdStrike providing technical support beyond what was available on the website.

This level of customer support led Delta board member David DeWalt to publicly state on LinkedIn: "George and his team have done an incredible job, working through the night in difficult circumstances to deliver a fix. It is a huge credit to the Crowdstrike team and their leadership that many woke up to a fix already available."

I'm all for CS having consequences for what happened, but Delta so obviously lying here with literal Linkedin posts from their board members that directly contradict what they are claiming, that's just scummy.
