March 19, 2026- A cyberattack against medical device maker Stryker last week has delayed surgeries for some patients, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.
While Stryker said in an update early this week its products remain safe to use and the incident has been contained, systems are still being restored. The disruption has already affected some providers: Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health said a small number of surgical cases were rescheduled due to the incident, according to Bloomberg.
The Stryker cyberattack, first disclosed on March 11, resulted in widespread disruption to its business, including its ability to process orders, make products and ship them to customers, according to Reuters.
An Iranian-linked hacking group, known as Handala, claimed responsibility last week for a cyberattack, as reported last week by the Wall Street Journal.
