CrowdStrike has yet to face a lawsuit over July's global IT meltdown, according to CFO Burt Podbere.
Meltdown it was. Airlines grounded planes. That was the impact most on the news, or at least what I saw. This was probably because video of a lot of angry people in airport lines made for good stories.
The global IT meltdown was caused by a configuration update file that CrowdStrike's software could not parse. The result was Blue Screens of Death popping up on Windows systems worldwide.

Until companies face real consequences for these kinds of screwups, there will be no resources provided to ensuring they don't happen again.
