Iran-linked hackers target U.S. medical firm. An Iran-linked hacker group claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Stryker, a Michigan-based medical technology company, marking the first significant cyber assault on an American company since the war began. The Handala Team allegedly gained access to Stryker's Microsoft Intune management system and remotely wiped employee devices, grinding operations to a halt. This represents a notable escalation from previous minor attacks, which mostly involved website defacement. Cybersecurity experts warn the attack demonstrates sophisticated access to critical corporate infrastructure. Historically, Iran-backed hackers conducted devastating wiper attacks on Saudi Aramco and the Sands Casino.
