US medical equipment provider Stryker's global networks were disrupted by a cyberattack, allegedly by a group linked to Iran. The attack impacted Strykers' internal Microsoft environment and deleted information from devices. The company is working to restore its systems quickly. An Iranian-linked hacker group, Handado, claims to have taken responsibility for the attack, extracting 50 terabytes of critical data from Strys and wiping out over 200,000 systems, servers, and mobile devices. Stryke's global operations are currently being resolved. The full extent of the impact on the company is not yet known.
