(Photo: AI)<\/span><\/figure>\n<div class=\"jsx-204852691 artbody\">\n<p><strong>New Delhi.<\/strong> Stryker, the world&#8217;s largest American company manufacturing medical equipment, has become the victim of a cyber attack. This attack brought the company&#8217;s global network to a standstill. Malware named Wiper is said to be behind the attack, which halted the work of more than 50,000 employees of the company. Responsibility for this attack has been taken by a hacker group named &#8216;Handala&#8217;, which is said to have links with Iran. Hackers claim that this attack is a revenge for the attack on a school in Minab city of Iran, in which more than 170 girl students were killed. This attack, which started after midnight on Wednesday, completely locked the IT systems of Stryker spread across America, Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Striker has been attacked by Wiper malware. This is not a ransomware attack. In a ransomware attack, data is stolen and money (ransom) is demanded. But the purpose of viper attack is much more dangerous and destructive than this. The purpose of ransomware is to earn money, but the sole purpose of a wiper is to completely destroy data. This malware erases the files on the targeted system or overwrites them to such an extent that they become impossible to recover.<\/p>\n<h3>blows up data<\/h3>\n<p>This damages important files of the operating system, due to which the computer or server stops booting. In the case of Stryker too, hackers tried to remotely wipe devices using legitimate tools like Microsoft Intune. The hacker group claims that they have captured approximately 50 terabytes of Stryker&#8217;s data. The seriousness of this attack can be gauged from the fact that the company&#8217;s employees were neither able to communicate among themselves nor were they able to manufacture or distribute life-saving medical equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>Viper is the new weapon of cyber war<\/h3>\n<p>Viper attacks are often used as a form of &#8216;cyber warfare&#8217; during geopolitical tensions. Wiper malware like CaddyWiper, HermeticWiper and FoxBlade were seen during the Ukraine war. This attack on the striker also points towards political vendetta. Experts believe that this is a &#8216;destructive attack&#8217;, whose aim is to cause financial loss to the company and spread chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"bottomNavDetails\" class=\"jsx-1293521762\">\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 atbtlink Location\"><span class=\"jsx-1293521762\">Location:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">New Delhi,<\/span><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">New Delhi,<\/span><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">Delhi<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 atbtlink fp\"><span class=\"jsx-1293521762\">First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 rs\">\n<p>March 12, 2026, 09:36 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/news\/tech\/apps-what-is-wiper-malware-and-how-dangerous-is-it-inside-the-devastating-cyberattack-on-stryker-ws-l-10264452.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Updated:March 12, 2026, 09:36 IST Stryker Wiper Malware Attack: American company Stryker has been attacked by Wiper malware.
