"The Handala group issued a statement on Telegram, saying it wiped more than 200,000 systems and extracted 50 terabytes of data in retaliation for military strikes on Iran. Handala emerged around 2022 and has claimed responsibility for a number of cyberattacks against Israeli and Western targets."
"The group claimed it shut down Stryker offices in 79 countries and that all extracted data is 'now in the hands of the free people of the world.' 'Our major cyber operation has been executed with complete success,' Handala says in a statement, describing the attack as retaliation for what it calls 'the brutal attack on the Minab school.'"
"Stryker began experience technical issues shortly after midnight on Wednesday. The company's staff found that remote devices running Microsoft's Windows operating system, such as cellphones, laptops and others configured to connect to Stryker's technology systems, had been wiped. The logo of Handala appeared on login screens."
Stryker, a major medical technology company with 53,000 employees globally, experienced a widespread outage on Wednesday affecting thousands of workers across 79 countries. The Iranian-linked Handala group claimed responsibility via Telegram, stating it wiped over 200,000 systems and extracted 50 terabytes of data. The group cited retaliation for military strikes on Iran, specifically referencing a school strike that killed at least 175 people including children. Remote devices running Windows operating systems connected to Stryker's network were wiped, with the Handala logo appearing on login screens. Handala emerged around 2022 and has previously targeted Israeli and Western entities.
