Iran-linked hackers hit medical giant Stryker in retaliatory cyberattack
Published on March 11, 2026.
A major cyberattack by Iran-linked hackers, Handala, has crippled global networks of Stryker, one of the world's largest medical device companies. The group claims to have seized 50 terabytes of data in response to US-Israeli strikes on an Iranian school that killed over 170 people. The attack began shortly after midnight on the US East Coast, disrupting Windows-based devices connected to Strykers' systems. Six senior Democratic senators in the United States have called for an investigation into the incident. The incident comes as Iran has escalated threats against Western economic targets.
