Stryker said in an SEC filing that a cyberattack, claimed by the Iran‑linked pro‑Iranian/pro‑Palestinian group Handala and briefly displaying the group’s logo on login pages, caused a temporary global disruption to parts of its Microsoft environment. Reporting and investigator accounts indicate the attackers targeted the Microsoft Intune management console, triggering remote‑wipe actions that reset numerous company‑issued phones and laptops to factory settings; analysts tracking Handala say the group appears focused on destructive data‑wiping rather than financial extortion, and Stryker says the incident is now believed contained as assessments continue.
