Iranian "hacktivists" have claimed credit for a cyberattack on US medical device maker Stryker, remotely wiping employee device and stopping operations. Stryker makes defibrillators and surgical/imaging equipment.
The Iranian hacker collective Handala (mentioned above in recent posts) claims they targeted Stryker in retaliation for US bombing of all-girls school in Iran. They say they have wiped more that 200,000 Stryker systems, servers, and mobile devices and stole 50 terabytes of critical data, forcing Stryker offices in 79 countries to shut down.

GAO report warns US water and wastewater systems are vulnerable to hackers
As we monitor the cybersecurity / "Iran hackers" space, the GAO just issued a fresh warning that US water infrastructure is largely insecure: old, pre-internet systems without any authentication have been glued with connected components — and the report claims foreign hackers have already found their way in and attacked, including ransomware attacks.
The report describes how an attack on highly vulnerable critical water infrastructure could cause service disruptions and environmental damage, as well as cripple downstream systems including the power grid, hospitals/healthcare, food & agriculture, and so forth.
