Medtech Giant Stryker Hit By Malware Attack
Medtech company Stryker has been forced offline by a destructive cyberattack, disrupting systems and services used by hospitals and suppliers. The incident reportedly destroyed data and left some equipment and business systems unavailable.
Who Is at Risk
Hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, medical staff, patients who rely on Stryker devices or software, and supply-chain partners are most at risk.
What to Watch For
Look for unexpected system outages, canceled or delayed procedures, staff unable to access device controls or patient records, unfamiliar error messages, or official notices from Stryker or your IT team.
What to Do
Immediately follow your organization’s emergency procedures: contact your IT/security team and Stryker support, switch to approved manual or backup processes, postpone non-urgent procedures, and notify affected patients and staff.
