Iranian-Hacked Wiper Hit Stryker, Triggering Healthcare Supply Chain Fears
An Iran-linked hacktivist group, Handala, claimed a mass data-wiping attack on medical-tech company Stryker, saying 200,000 devices across 79 countries were wiped and offices shut, reportedly using a remote wipe via Microsoft Intune; Irish reports say about 5,000 staff were sent home and devices wiped, raising concerns about healthcare supply chains, though the American Hospital Association says there are no confirmed direct hospital disruptions yet as investigations continue.
