Medical device manufacturer Stryker<\/strong> is investigating a cyberattack that disrupted its internal systems and caused a global network outage affecting parts of its Microsoft environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a March 12 update, the company said the incident appears to be contained within its internal Microsoft<\/strong> environment. Stryker added that there is currently no evidence of malware or ransomware<\/strong>, though investigations into the scope of the attack are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the disruption, the company confirmed that several key products, including Mako<\/strong>, Vocera<\/strong>, and LIFEPAK 35,<\/strong> remain safe for clinical use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company also stated that orders placed before the outage are visible within its systems and will be shipped once communications are restored. Orders entered after the incident are currently being reviewed as Stryker works to bring its electronic ordering platform back online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a March 11 report from The Wall Street Journal<\/strong>, the cyberattack may be linked to an Iran-affiliated hacking group. The report also indicated that some employee devices running Microsoft Windows were remotely wiped during the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthcare organizations that rely on Stryker products and services are closely monitoring the situation while implementing precautionary cybersecurity measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mass General Brigham<\/strong> said it is reviewing the disruption while maintaining clinical operations and ensuring patient care continues without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, Providence<\/strong> reported that its cybersecurity team temporarily restricted connectivity with Stryker systems and devices as a precaution. The health system emphasized that there is currently no evidence its internal systems were compromised<\/strong> and that care delivery remains unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Providence also noted that staff are trained in downtime procedures designed to maintain continuity of care during technology disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stryker said it continues to investigate the incident and restore affected systems while maintaining business continuity operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source:<\/strong> Becker\u2019s Hospital Review, Naomi Diaz, Stryker hit by cyberattack reportedly tied to Iran-linked hackers<\/em> (March 12, 2026).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Medical device manufacturer Stryker is investigating a cyberattack that disrupted its internal systems and caused a global network outage affecting parts of its Microsoft environment.
