CISA is urging companies to secure Microsoft Intune systems after serious hackers wiped Stryker devices

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned companies to protect the systems of their employees’ devices after hackers supporting Iran were breached. medical technician Stryker and wiped out thousands of his phones, tablets, and computers.

Organization he said on Thursday that it urges the company to take action and confirm that it knows that hackers used their Internet access to Stryker’s Windows to abuse its end-systems of the device, which makes global operations more efficient.

Among the recommendations, CISA said network administrators should ensure that certain user accounts that have access to systems like Microsoft Intune, which Stryker uses to manage employees’ devices remotely, can make changes or significant changes (such as wiping devices) with the permission of a second administrator.

Stryker, which makes medical devices and medical equipment, confirmed on March 11 that it had been hacked, saying it was experiencing a “global outage” on its network.

The company said the hackers did not send malware or ransomware, but reports say that hackers abused their access to Stryker’s internal systems to access its Intune dashboards to remotely delete data stored on thousands of employees’ devices, including their phones and computers connected to Stryker’s network.

Stryker said it has suffered a cyberattack and is restoring its systems. Although the company’s medical devices are still operational, Stryker said its delivery, ordering, and shipping processes are offline.

Stryker gave no time to recover. The company did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.

A group of pro-Iran hacktivists, called Handala, received credit for the cyberattack on the Stryker last week, saying that he cut the company to avenge the US killing many children boycotting the plane on the school in Iran. The hackers allegedly stole information from the company’s network, but did not provide proof of their claims.

The FBI took down the Handala group’s website on Wednesday, TechCrunch reported.
