Medtech giant Stryker fully operational after data-wiping attack
Stryker says it is fully operational three weeks after a cyberattack claimed by the Iranian‑linked Handala group that stole roughly 50 terabytes of data and wiped nearly 80,000 devices after compromising a Windows domain admin and creating a Global Administrator account. CISA and Microsoft issued guidance to secure Intune and harden Windows domains, the FBI seized two Handala websites, investigators found a stealthy malicious file used to hide activity, and Stryker reports production moving rapidly toward full capacity. #Stryker #Handala
