Medical technology company Stryker confirmed Thursday that an Iran-linked cyberattack severely disrupted its global operations, affecting order processing, manufacturing, and shipping worldwide. The $25 billion company was forced to shut down offices in dozens of countries and send staff home in Ireland, its largest hub outside the US. The Handala hacker group claimed responsibility, saying they wiped over 200,000 devices and stole 50TB of data. Rather than using traditional malware, the attackers exploited Microsoft Intune, a cloud management service, to remotely wipe systems across Stryker's network. Handala, believed to be a front for Iranian intelligence services, has ramped up attacks since the Israel-Gaza conflict began, targeting companies perceived as Israeli allies. **Source:** [Security Week](https://www.securityweek.com/iran-linked-hacker-attack-on-stryker-disrupted-manufacturing-and-shipping/)
