It's causing chaos at airports, affecting banks, hospitals, government offices, media outlets and other businesses all around the world.

Fox Business correspondent Lydia Hugh joining me to report here on all of this from New York.

Hi Lydia.

Hey there Martha.

This is a massive global tech outage impacting what's estimated to be millions of people who are traveling today in need of medical care or some just trying to get a cup of coffee.

Take a look at this.

These are the companies that are saying that they are impacted.

Just some of them, Starbucks, FedEx, CVS, Bank of America among them.

But Martha, it's not just corporate America. 911 call centers are disrupted in states like Alaska, Virginia and Iowa.

Shipments to ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach interrupted.

And Portland, Oregon has declared a state of emergency.

Hospital systems, they're saying interruptions too.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center here in New York says most of their systems and procedures are reinstated now.

But just earlier today it reported pausing the start of some procedures that required anesthesia.

The cause of all this mess is cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

The company says the problem happened when it issued a faulty update to customers running Microsoft.

Even though the disruption is not a cyber attack, some are now questioning whether we, our country, is vulnerable.

Watch.

How did we allow for one company, one entity, to control whether or not America and the rest of the world can be in business?

Now CrowdStrike's CEO has apologized and the company says that a fix has been deployed.

But experts are saying it's going to take time for that fix to take effect.

And rather than wait for that repair, it does appear that some are taking a different approach.

Elon Musk posted on X that he has deleted CrowdStrike from all of his systems.

Unclear which companies he's referring to or all of them perhaps.

And meanwhile, Martha, shares of CrowdStrike taking a battering today in the market, down more than 12.5% when I just checked.

Back to you.

Lydia, thank you very much.
