CrowdStrike failure:
Zurich Airport considers legal action
Zurich Airport is considering whether to take legal action in light of last Friday's IT failure. The extent of the financial damage caused by the failed update remains to be seen.
Zurich Airport is currently analyzing the incident, an airport spokeswoman told Radio SRF1's "Regionaljournal Zürich-Schaffhausen" on Monday. The extent of the damage is being clarified and whether the airport intends to take legal action against those responsible.
The globally failed update from the US cybersecurity company CrowdStrike disrupted operations at Zurich Airport on Friday. The airlines had to cancel 132 flights. Around 10,000 passengers were affected by the IT glitch. However, no one had to sleep on the ground. Passengers either flew on later or were accommodated in hotels.
The worldwide IT breakdown affected 8.5 million Windows devices. In addition to airports, supermarkets, banks, hospitals, TV stations and other institutions also had problems.
