Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker

@briankrebs Medical companies should not be called like a weapon system or some sci-fi shit.
@compfu @briankrebs I wondered just how long it was going to take after Hegseth said all those restrictive rules of war were nul & void. 'We don't want restrictions of any kind'.

Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker
A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.
From the story:
"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."
"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."

@briankrebs Serves them right. Their new stretchers are garbage.

@briankrebs And that is why you don’t tie personal devices to corporate systems allowing them to remote wipe your devices
Work: If you don't accept these terms that allow us to wipe your device, you won't be able to access Exchange via mobile.

@briankrebs Thanks for raising awareness on this.

What's this "new Epstein" thing?
Also curious as to why Stryker in particular.

@hotelzululima @compfu @briankrebs
It gets a bit more interesting. We (US) supported Geneva Convention and were given even stricter rules than stated. N Vietnam was not. As a result we were at a disadvantage, If both nations are signed on and are honest some of the horrors we saw in Vietnam won't happen. Most important is "If a soldier is out of combat he must be taken care of." Not killed like the folks on the "drug boat" were. All in that line are guilty of a war crime. Thanks Hegseth.

@briankrebs apparently, they're claiming Verifone now as well.

In a statement, Handala referred to the US missile attack on a girls' school in Minab city of Iran, which killed dozens, as one of the reasons for the hacking.

@beisbolcards @tomjennings @briankrebs
When my daughter was born, just about every product I came in contact with at the hospital had a Stryker logo on it, not hyperbole. I believe they might be the largest medical supplier in the US(edit: they're number 6, I looked it up). If this is a worst case scenario and it takes 6 months to fulfill orders, it may have much broader consequences on the general public than just being an epic data wipe.

@Fringedcrow @briankrebs Neat graphics, this may be sophisticated, I don’t know, but until the full Trumpstein photos and videos and files are exposed on a Times Square billboard I’ll still yawn.

#stryker #handala #intune #wiper #cybersecurity
Added this as an update to the story on the wiper attack on medtech giant Stryker, which doesn't just sell medical devices: A number of hospitals have opted to disconnect from Stryker's online services to minimize risk from the attack, including LifeNet, a service used by countless hospitals to send EKGs etc. from emergency responders to the emergency room in advance of the patient arriving (to speed up treatment, minimize heart tissue damage, etc). Some states, e.g., Maryland, actually require the transmission of this information, and are asking providers who have disconnected from LifeNet to start using the phone to describe the results of EKGs recorded by emergency personnel in the field.
