An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a medical tech company in what appears to be the first significant instance of Iran’s hacking an American company since the start of the war between the countries.
The company, Stryker, which is headquartered in Michigan, produces a range of medical equipment and technology.
Historically, Iran has conducted some of the most infamous “wiper” cyberattacks on national enemies, aiming to simply erase all data on computers’ networks. Victims include Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, in 2012, and the Sands Casino in 2014.
Ooof, this isn’t good.
You know how sometimes paramedics have to come to your house and hook you up to a heart monitor? That’s most likely a Stryker Lifepak.
You know how those same paramedics need to put you on a stretcher and load you into the ambulance? That’s most likely a Stryker Power-Pro.
You know how when those same paramedics bring you to the hospital and they put you in a medical bed, and hook you up to a bunch of equipment? Most likely more Stryker gear.
Maybe this should have been considered before we started ANOTHER stupid war.
What does the regime care, it’s only the poors who’ll be affected.
As an American, am I supposed to feel bad?
I watched my government bomb an elementary school with zero approval from the “Separations of Power”.
This is fuck around and find out and Americans are on the opposing side.
Are they not supposed to report news?
In the future, if more similar attacks happen, I hope we all remember that Iran is defending themselves against a completely unjust war, launched on them by hegemonic force. Anyone affected by these attacks should place the blame on the US government for forcing Iran to defend itself.
Yes but it’s still weird going to bat for Iran, an objectively worse country in every way. The blood of thousands of their own citizens spilled at their own hand hasn’t even cooled yet, and somehow people are making them out to be the good guys.
In WW2, America had segregation, the UK and France had brutally oppressive overseas colonies, and the USSR had gulags. The Axis were still much worse.
It’s entirely possible for there to be no good guys in a war. This is just one piece of shit despot attacking another. Cheer for neither, pray for us all.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. I can condemn a senseless war without defending every atrocity the defenders have committed.
I don’t really see how Iran brutalizing Iranians makes it ok to drop bombs on other Iranians.
Hell, America itself has been the obvious villain in countless military conflicts. That doesn’t mean it’d be ok for some random other country to bomb Chicago just because they want to.

Iran has the right to defend itself. Also, the american people yearn for freedom.
since the start of the war between the countries
What a complicit way to phrase that.
You know feel free to take down Facebook or Google or Bank of America or any of those please.
They should target all the banks and tech giants.
Brb gonna max out my credit cards first
Way ahead of ya
Just as long as they ruin as many non-jill-stein voters’ lives as possible, I’m happy!! /s
If you feel the need to type /s, your attempt at wit failed.
I want to agree with you, but with the prevalence of bots that try to actually push viewpoints that stupid, and the amount of idiots in general who end up believing it, it’s kinda becoming necessary these days to point which side of Poe’s Law you are on
That’s kinda the point, if you dont want to risk some people misunderstanding you, then don’t be sarcastic, just say what you mean. Jonathan Swift received a lot of hate mail including death threats for publishing A Modest Proposal. And he fully expected that.
If you felt the need to respond like this, you failed at life.
Yes exactly! You dont need a stupid sarcasm tag!!
I was referring to you being a jerk for no reason
Ha, hilarious youve really stepped up your comedy game, bravo!
Look at this. No /s tag and still not witty!
Thank you for saying what we all think. That shit belongs on Reddit, let it rot there.
No one thinks that
Yay more mandatory corporate cyber security training refreshers for everyone!
But its a free USB drive i found in the parking lot!!
Just a quick look won’t hurt anyone
uranium centrifuges start subtly changing speed
If they could be a dear and target MOHELA and delete the student loan data on me, I’d appreciate it.
It could be a good way to fuck the US government AND make the US citizen lean towards Iran. If they destroy all debts, people in the US would start seeing Iran as the good guys in all this.
Probably the first time a government would help them out instead of feeding them to capitalists.
