Stryker Says Cyberattack Contained as Ordering Systems Stay Offline

A pro-Iran group has claimed responsibility, pending investigation into any patient-care risk.

Overview

  • Stryker reports the incident was contained to its internal Microsoft environment with no indication of ransomware or malware, and it says all products remain safe to use.
  • Electronic ordering remains unavailable, and the company is prioritizing restoration of systems that support customers, ordering and shipping while using manual workarounds through sales representatives.
  • Stryker says restoration is progressing and core transactional systems are on a clear path to recovery, with orders placed during the disruption to process once systems return.
  • A pro-Iran hacking group has claimed the operation as retaliation for events in Iran, though formal attribution has not been confirmed.
  • Federal health officials and industry partners are assessing potential impacts, and while Maryland’s EMS flagged LIFENET transmission issues, Stryker says the system remained functional despite some precautionary pauses.
