I love how this whole debacle has turned into a finger-pointing party

“We, Microsoft, didn’t do it, CrowdStrike did!”

“We, CrowdStrike, didn’t do it, the airlines did!”

Of course, this would be fine if done for technical purposes, but it’s actually being done to reverse stock price dips and make the boards of directors happy

Why would the TSA have anything to do with Delta’s IT operations?

In March 2023, the TSA added a cybersecurity emergency amendment to its cybersecurity programs. The amendment required airlines like Delta to develop "policies and controls to ensure that operational technology systems can continue to safely operate in the event that an information technology system has been compromised," CrowdStrike's complaint said.

Guess that’s why.
