Stryker Hit by Iranian-Backed Cyber Attack, Production Halted
Stryker, a global medical device manufacturer, suffers a cyber attack linked to an Iranian-backed group, disrupting IT systems in Cork, Ireland, and Dublin. The wiper attack shuts down production, leaves servers offline, and forces workers to manually handle orders. Handala, the hacktivist group, claims responsibility, citing a US strike on an Iranian school. Stryker assures no malware or ransomware involved, focusing on restoring networks to ship pre-attack orders.
