Stryker, an American medical technology company, confirmed a cyberattack by the Iran-linked hacking group Handala, disrupting its global network. The attack targeted Stryker's Microsoft environment, affecting over 200,000 devices across 79 countries. Handala claimed the operation was retaliation for a missile strike in Iran. Various Iranian state-connected groups, including CyberAv3ngers and APT33, are also involved in cyber operations against American infrastructure. The US and Israel are conducting their own cyberattacks in response. A coalition of over 60 hacktivist groups, called the Cyber Islamic Resistance, has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks during the conflict, with pro-Iranian actors also emerging from regions like Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
