A cyberattack on a US-based manufacturer of medical equipment, Stryker, has heightened concerns that Iran or hacking groups linked to it might target civilian companies and infrastructure as the war continues. Stryker has not said who was behind the attack, which disrupted its systems around the world on Wednesday. Preliminary findings from a Pentagon investigation indicate that the US military carried out the strike because of a targeting error, The New York Times reported. Since the Iran war began on February 28, security firms have raised concerns that Iran or groups linked to it might engage in cyberwarfare, in some cases mentioning Handala specifically.
