Part of it depends on if the DC was doing managed services as well. If they are just a space tenant then their exposure can be limited. But if it was their servers that will be a little different. Not saying it would make the difference, but opens another avenue to be argued.
To me it’s like going after the Landlord of a rental apartment if someone is busted for drugs. How much can be proven that they knew? How much can they interfere with their business?
