"Staff said cellphones, laptops, and other devices that run on Microsoft's Windows operating system to connect to Stryker's technology systems had been wiped. The logo, which allegedly appeared on login pages, was for Handala, a pro-Palestinian hacking group."
"On one Reddit thread, a user posted 'My wife had 3 Stryker managed devices wiped around 3:30 AM EDT. Their Entra login page was defaced with the Handala logo, it's still up as of this post.' On that same thread, another user replied 'Yep! Woke up to wiped computer and phone, low key thought they finally fired me lol.'"
"Handala was also behind a breach of the Academy of the Hebrew Language's website on Wednesday, according to The Jerusalem Post, which reported that the group posted the message, 'There is no need to learn Hebrew anymore. You won't need it for much longer.'"
Medical equipment manufacturer Stryker suffered a significant cyber attack early Wednesday morning, with the Iran-linked hacking group Handala claiming responsibility. The attack resulted in widespread device wiping across Windows-based systems, affecting employee cellphones, laptops, and other devices connected to Stryker's technology infrastructure. The Handala logo appeared on login pages, confirming the group's involvement. Multiple staff and contractors reported losing access to their devices. The incident caused Stryker's stock to decline nearly 4% in early trading. The same group simultaneously targeted the Academy of the Hebrew Language's website, posting a threatening message.
