ORTAGE, Mich. (AP) — Stryker, a major U.S. medical equipment company, said a cyberattack disrupted its global networks Wednesday.

“We have no indication of ransomware or malware and believe the incident is contained. Our teams are working rapidly to understand the impact of the attack on our systems,” Stryker said in a statement on its website.

The logo of Handala, a hacking group linked to Iran, has appeared on company login pages, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Stryker’s statement said the cyberattack hit its Microsoft programs. Emails seeking additional information were not immediately answered.

BIG EDIT: I changed the post because I linked an incorrect, out of date article because I had no clue that Iran had previously conducted cyberattacks. Mistake was all mine.

    according to Arnie Bellini, a tech entrepreneur and investor.

    Hey Arnie, what are you an investor in?

    Bellini founded Bellini Capital, where he serves as CEO. The firm invests in cybersecurity software, services, and related fields

    Cool.

    I often wonder how many black hat hacker groups and other malicious digital actors are the cat’s paw of cybersecurity businesses.
