"We are continuing to resolve the disruption impacting our global network, resulting from the cyber attack. At this time, there is no indication of malware or ransomware and we believe the situation is contained to our internal Microsoft environment only. Our products like Mako, Vocera and LIFEPAK35 are fully safe to use."
"An Iranian-linked hacker group called Handala has taken responsibility for the attack on X, claiming that it has extracted 50 terabytes of "critical data" from Stryker and wiped "over 200,000 systems, servers, and mobile devices." Information from Reddit users linked to Stryker and The Wall Street Journal corroborates Handala's involvement."
"In an SEC filing disclosing the attack, Stryker says the "full scope" of the operational and financial impact on its business "are not yet known," and that it's unable to provide a full restoration timeline. The situation was still ongoing as of 12:32AM ET on Thursday, when Stryker said that it was working to bring its systems back online as quickly as possible."
