Stryker, a medical equipment manufacturer specializing in surgical and orthopedic products, said its production operations have been fully restored after the company suffered a cyberattack last month.
"Overall product supply remains healthy, with strong availability across most product lines, as we continue to meet customer demand and support patient care," the company said in an update. "Our work continues around the clock in close partnership with third‑party cybersecurity experts, relevant government agencies and industry partners as our investigation progresses, reflecting a shared commitment to protecting the healthcare ecosystem and supporting ongoing recovery efforts."
Stryker was targeted in March by Handala, a hacking group linked to Iran. The cyberattack focused on the company's Microsoft environment and caused disruptions to order processing, manufacturing and shipping.
Stryker said that further into the course of its investigation alongside Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 and other experts, it identified that the threat actor used a malicious file to run commands which allowed them to hide their activity while in our systems.
"To be clear, this file was not capable of spreading — either inside or outside of our environment. Most importantly, at no point has our investigation identified malicious activity directed towards our customers, suppliers, vendors or partners," the company said.
