Iran-linked hacking group Handala said on March 12, 2026 that it breached U.S. medical device firm Stryker, exfiltrating about 50 TB of data and wiping over 200,000 devices, including employee personal devices. Stryker, a Michigan-based Fortune 500 company, says the disruption is limited to its internet Microsoft environment and that it sees no indication of ransomware. The incident highlights risks from compromised mobile device management tools.
