FBI Seizes Iranian-Linked Hackers’ Websites Following Cyberattack

CISA warns U.S. companies to secure Microsoft Intune after hackers wiped data from nearly 88,000 devices, disrupting Stryker's global operations and supply systems.

  • The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency urged companies on Thursday to secure Microsoft Intune after hackers abused access to Stryker's Windows-based corporate network.
  • Breaking into an internal administrator account, hackers gained near-unlimited access and used Microsoft Intune to wipe approximately 80,000 devices at Stryker last week.
  • BleepingComputer reported the hacker-initiated wipe affected nearly 88,000 devices, and Stryker said the incident was contained with restoration underway.
  • The FBI seized two Handala websites this week, replacing their content with seizure banners and DOJ/FBI server redirects under a court warrant citing malicious cyber activities tied to a foreign state actor.
  • Cybersecurity experts say attackers abused legitimate management software, Microsoft Intune, to mass-wipe devices, linking the attack to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, active since October 7, 2023.
