Pro-Iran hacktivist group says it is behind attack on medical tech giant Stryker | TechCrunch

"In this operation, over 200,000 systems, servers, and mobile devices have been wiped and 50 terabytes of critical data have been extracted. Stryker's offices in 79 countries have been forced to shut down."

"The hackers wrote that they attacked Stryker in retaliation for the brutal attack on the Minab school and in response to ongoing cyber assaults against the infrastructure of Iran and its allies. The hackers were referring to the Minab girls school in Tehran, which the U.S. military reportedly bombed in its recent attacks on Iran, killing more than 175 people, most of them children."

"Stryker is currently experiencing a severe, global disruption across the Windows environment impacting both client devices and servers. Our teams are actively working to restore systems and operations as quickly as possible."

The hacktivist group Handala, linked to Iran, claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack on Stryker, a U.S. medical technology company. The hackers stated the attack was retaliation for U.S. military bombing of the Minab girls school in Tehran, which killed over 175 people, mostly children. According to the hackers, the breach affected over 200,000 systems and servers across 79 countries, with 50 terabytes of critical data extracted. Stryker's systems worldwide were wiped, with login pages displaying the hacker group's logo. While Stryker has no direct connection to the military attacks, it operates in Israel and holds a $450 million Department of Defense contract. The company confirmed experiencing severe global disruption and stated teams are working to restore systems.
