Iranian-linked hacker group Handala attacked Michigan-based Stryker Corporation, a major medical device manufacturer, claiming it was retaliation for the bombing of Iran's Minab school. The Wednesday cyberattack disrupted thousands of employees' Microsoft systems, causing what the company called "global disruption" with no timeline for full restoration. Stryker's stock dropped 3% following news of the breach. The hackers claimed they wiped thousands of systems and extracted 50 terabytes of data, though Stryker says there's no evidence of ransomware or malware. Cybersecurity experts warn this marks an escalation as Iran's conflict spreads to US cyber targets, with more attacks likely coming. **Source:** [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/12/iran-group-hack-medical-company-minab-school)
