The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI have engaged with executives at Stryker as they work to assess and mitigate the fallout from a major hack of the medical technology giant last week that an Iran-aligned group took credit for, a top official said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve engaged with them. Our teams have worked with them, as well as some of the FBI teams, and our regional personnel have been engaged with them,\u201d Nick Andersen, CISA\u2019s acting director, told reporters after he spoke at a McCrary Institute event on Tuesday. He didn\u2019t provide other updates.<\/p>\n

The worldwide cyberattack wiped employees\u2019 phones and prevented workers from accessing their computers and other remote work tools. The logo of Handala, a pro-Iran and pro-Palestinian hacking group, appeared on employee login pages, and the hacking collective\u2019s X account also claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n

Andersen added that CISA is engaging further with sector-based industry groups on foreign cyber threats. On Iran, \u201cwe still are seeing a steady state. [The groups have] not seen an increase in the rise of threat actor activity, which is fantastic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he cautioned that \u201cwe just can\u2019t take our eyes off of the fact that other adversaries continue to make maneuvers in this space. Cybercriminal groups continue to make moves within this space. It\u2019s not just about one nation-state at one particular point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stryker, one of the largest medical tech providers in the world, said last week it believed the incident was contained but the effects of the hack may continue causing \u201cdisruptions and limitations of access\u201d to certain company information systems and applications supporting parts of their operations and functions.<\/p>\n

Pro-Iran hacking groups frequently target the computer systems of nations considered adversaries to Tehran, namely the U.S. and Israel. In late 2023, during the Israel-Hamas war, another Iran-aligned hacking group defaced the interfaces of Pennsylvania water…<\/p>\n
