Medical device manufacturer Stryker has confirmed that it suffered a global cyber attack by the Handala group, which has links to Iran[5]. The incident specifically affected his Microsoft environment and disrupted systems around the world[5]. However, the company said its surgical technology platforms, defibrillators, cardiac monitors and connected beds are not affected by the attacks and doctors can continue to use these products safely. Security systems and internal procedures enabled IT teams to quickly secure compromised systems and maintain full infrastructure integrity[2]. The attack raised concerns in the healthcare community due to the critical nature of the affected systems[4]. The incident is part of a wider trend of cyber-attacks on healthcare facilities and organizations around the world.
