Cyber Attack Linked to Iran Targets US Medtech Giant Stryker

The cyberattack on US medical equipment provider Stryker disrupted global networks, allegedly by an Iran-linked hacking group. The attack affected Stryker’s internal Microsoft systems, deleting data and halting work and communications. An SEC filing revealed the full impact is still unknown, with no restoration timeline yet. Stryker is working to restore systems, stating the attack is contained within their internal environment, while core products remain safe. The hacker group Handala claimed responsibility, reportedly accessing 50 terabytes of data and wiping numerous devices. The attack affected operations across Europe, Asia, and the US, severely impacting work at key sites like the Cork, Ireland facility.
