Stryker cyber attack has intensified debate over whether Iran has opened a new cyber front in the US-Iran conflict. Shares of Stryker Corporation fell about 4.5% after hackers shut down systems across its global network. Investigators suspect the Iran-linked Handala hacker group behind the breach. Reports say the attackers wiped Windows laptops, smartphones, and remote devices connected to Stryker’s network. The $100 billion medical device giant supplies surgical equipment, orthopedic implants, and hospital technology worldwide. A disruption at Stryker raises concerns about global medical supply chains and healthcare infrastructure. Cybersecurity experts say the Stryker cyber attack could signal rising geopolitical cyber warfare targeting critical healthcare companies.
