"We've engaged with them. Our teams have worked with them, as well as some of the FBI teams, and our regional personnel have been engaged with them. The worldwide cyberattack wiped employees' phones and prevented workers from accessing their computers and other remote work tools. The logo of Handala, a pro-Iran and pro-Palestinian hacking group, appeared on employee login pages."
"We just can't take our eyes off of the fact that other adversaries continue to make maneuvers in this space. Cybercriminal groups continue to make moves within this space. It's not just about one nation-state at one particular point in time. Pro-Iran hacking groups frequently target the computer systems of nations considered adversaries to Tehran, namely the U.S. and Israel."
"Stryker, one of the largest medical tech providers in the world, said last week it believed the incident was contained but the effects of the hack may continue causing disruptions and limitations of access to certain company information systems and applications supporting parts of their operations and functions."
Stryker, a major medical technology company, suffered a significant cyberattack attributed to Handala, an Iran-aligned hacking group. The breach wiped employee phones and prevented access to computers and remote work tools. CISA's acting director confirmed that CISA and FBI teams are actively engaged with Stryker executives to assess and mitigate the incident's impact. Stryker reported the attack as contained but acknowledged ongoing disruptions to certain information systems and applications. CISA officials noted that while Iranian threat actor activity remains at steady state without recent increases, other adversaries and cybercriminal groups continue posing threats. Pro-Iran hacking groups typically target U.S. and Israeli computer systems.
