• Medical products remain safe; order systems offline and manual only

When cybercriminals struck Stryker last week and wiped tens of thousands of electronic devices, they did so without using any malware. Instead, they used Intune, Microsoft’s cloud-based endpoint management service, sources are saying.

Last week, a hacking collective calling itself Handala (AKA HAtef, Hamsa) said they broke into Stryker, a Fortune 500 healthcare company with tens of billions in annual sales. They claimed to have stolen 50 terabytes of data and wiped “tens of thousands of systems and servers across the company’s network.”
