WARSAW — Stryker, one of the biggest orthopedic firms in the country with offices in Warsaw and other Indiana cities, said Wednesday that a cyberattack disrupted its global networks.
“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, appeared on company login pages, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Stryker’s statement said the cyberattack hit its Microsoft programs.
A story by First Post.com reports the attack disrupted the company’s digital infrastructure and allegedly wiped thousands of systems.
Emails from The AP seeking additional information were not immediately answered.
Stryker has offices in Warsaw, a distribution center in Mooresville, and a presence in Indianapolis and South Bend.
The United States and Israel began attacking Iran nearly two weeks ago and quickly killed much of the country’s leadership, including its Supreme Leader.
The country has also stepped up attacks on cargo ships attempting to cross through the Strait of Hormuz.
