Stryker says malware was involved in recent cyberattack as production lines reopen

Stryker disclosed that alleged Iranian cyber actors wiped more than 200,000 company devices using Microsoft Intune’s device-wipe feature and a malicious file, causing disruptions to hospital communication systems and prompting some hospitals to suspend connections; Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 helped remove unauthorized persistence, Stryker is rebuilding or restoring systems from backups and isolating unresolved systems, and there is no current evidence of customer system compromise though surgeries and operations were impacted.
