Iran-Backed Group Claims Cyber Attack on Medical Firm Stryker

An Iranian-linked hacktivist group has announced it carried out a wiper attack on Stryker, a prominent medical technology company headquartered in Michigan. Reports indicate that Stryker’s largest facility outside the U.S., located in Ireland, has temporarily sent its workforce of over 5,000 employees home due to the incident.
