Iran-Aligned Hacktivist Group Claims Cyberattack on Medical Technology Firm Stryker

Medical technology company Stryker experienced a cyberattack attributed to an Iran-aligned hacktivist group, part of a broader surge in state-aligned cyber operations coinciding with the Iran war. The incident reflects a widening of the conflict into the cyber domain, with Iran-linked actors increasingly targeting US healthcare and critical infrastructure sectors. Separately, cybersecurity researchers identified an active device code phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 identities across more than 340 organizations since February 19.
