Iran-linked group claims responsibility for Stryker cyberattack

An Iran-linked hacking group named Handala has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack against Michigan-based medical giant Stryker Corp., causing a global network disruption and wiping employee devices. The group stated the attack was in retaliation for a strike on an Iranian school and alleged ongoing cyber assaults. Experts view this as a potential major escalation in cyber warfare, with Stryker reporting no ransomware and believing the incident is contained, though its shares fell following the news.
