Attack on Stryker’s Microsoft environment wiped employee devices without malware

Stryker experienced a large-scale destructive cyberattack that targeted its internal Microsoft corporate environment: attackers compromised an administrator account, created a Global Administrator, and executed Microsoft Intune wipe commands that erased nearly 80,000 devices; the hacktivist group Handala (reported as linked to Iran-backed Void Manticore) claimed responsibility and alleged additional mass exfiltration, while Stryker and Microsoft-led investigators state the incident did not affect medical devices but has disrupted corporate systems globally.
