Stryker breach spotlights risk of weaponized device-management tools

A March 2026 Stryker cyberattack allegedly used Microsoft Intune to remotely wipe thousands of devices, with Iran-linked Handala claiming credit and up to 50 terabytes of data stolen. Researchers say the attack leveraged living-off-the-land techniques rather than a flaw in Intune, highlighting how MDM/UEM platforms can be abused. MFA and multi-account approvals for destructive actions are advised as Stryker works with forensic experts and the CISA investigates the incident.

Iran-Linked Wiper Wave Targets Global Networks via Identity Attacks

Unit 42 warns of a rising risk of wiper attacks tied to the Iran conflict, led by Handala Hack (aka Void Manticore) using phishing and compromised admin access via Microsoft Intune to disrupt networks in Israel and the US; Israel's National Cyber Directorate reports cases where attackers used legitimate credentials to delete servers. The advisory outlines zero trust privileged access, Just-In-Time admin rights, MFA, break-glass accounts, PIM/PAM, MAA, RBAC with Intune Admin roles, and Group-based PIM; plus shorter session lifetimes, token protection, DSPM/DLP, MDR/XDR monitoring, offline immutable backups, and ongoing phishing training. If compromised, contact incident response teams.
