Stryker confirms cyberattack is contained and restoration underway

Stryker is continuing an investigation into the attack on its Microsoft environment earlier this month, an incident the company said in a regulatory filing is now contained.

The medical technology provider said there is no indication that customers, suppliers, vendors or other partners were affected, according to the 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As previously reported, an Iran-linked threat group, tracked as Handala, claimed credit for the attack. The hackers weaponized the company’s Microsoft Intune device-management platform to wipe data from thousands of devices.

The attack temporarily disrupted ordering, manufacturing and shipping. The company began to restore normal operations late last week.

Stryker, which provides surgical equipment and orthopedic devices to hospitals and other customers across the globe, said it has not yet determined whether the attack will have a material impact on operations.
