Meanwhile, the chief executive of Delta Air Lines, Ed Bastian, has said in an interview with business news channel CNBC that the disruption caused by the outage cost the airline $500m, including lost revenue and compensation to passengers.
Delta has reportedly hired a prominent lawyer and is preparing to seek compensation from CrowdStrike.
The faulty update on 19 July crashed 8.5 million Microsoft Windows computers around the world. The outage disrupted businesses and services, including airlines, banks and hospitals.
In a detailed review of the incident, CrowdStrike said there was a “bug” in a system designed to ensure software updates worked properly.
CrowdStrike said the glitch meant “problematic content data” in a file went undetected.
The company said it could prevent a repeat of the incident with better software testing and checks, including more scrutiny from developers.
