Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker
A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.
From the story:
"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."
"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."

@briankrebs Thanks for raising awareness on this.

What's this "new Epstein" thing?
Also curious as to why Stryker in particular.

It gets a bit more interesting. We (US) supported Geneva Convention and were given even stricter rules than stated. N Vietnam was not. As a result we were at a disadvantage, If both nations are signed on and are honest some of the horrors we saw in Vietnam won't happen. Most important is "If a soldier is out of combat he must be taken care of." Not killed like the folks on the "drug boat" were. All in that line are guilty of a war crime. Thanks Hegseth.

@briankrebs apparently, they're claiming Verifone now as well.

@beisbolcards @tomjennings @briankrebs
When my daughter was born, just about every product I came in contact with at the hospital had a Stryker logo on it, not hyperbole. I believe they might be the largest medical supplier in the US(edit: they're number 6, I looked it up). If this is a worst case scenario and it takes 6 months to fulfill orders, it may have much broader consequences on the general public than just being an epic data wipe.

Work: If you don't accept these terms that allow us to wipe your device, you won't be able to access Exchange via mobile.
Me: Win-win, mother fuckers!@geniodiabolico holy shit, never install corporate spyware from your employer on a personal device. If your employer won't provide a device then use a cheap second device.

@lilyyllyyllyly @Moosader They're alleging that existing search tools can only search for the exact words in a text while AI can search for broader ideas expressed in the text. These people have apparently never heard of taxonomies. And that's just one example off the top of my head.

Il recente attacco del 28 febbraio condotto da Stati Uniti e Israele contro l’Iran non è un atto isolato, né un incidente della storia. È l’ennesima manifestazione ben pianificata di una logica imperiale che traveste l’aggressione da difesa, la supremazia...Vedi
