Medical technology leader Stryker Corp. remained grappling Thursday with the aftermath of a major cyberattack that disrupted its global Microsoft-based network, as a pro-Iran hacking group claimed responsibility for a destructive operation it described as retaliation for recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes.
The incident, which began in the early hours of March 11, 2026, caused widespread outages affecting laptops, cellphones and other devices connected to Stryker's systems. Employees worldwide reported remote wipes of work-issued devices, with some login screens displaying the logo of Handala, an Iran-linked hacktivist collective. The company confirmed the breach in a statement posted to its website and later updated customers.
