What Is This About?

If you are a current or former employee of Stryker Corporation (“Stryker”), we would like to speak with you regarding your legal rights and potential remedies. Stryker recently experienced a cybersecurity incident that may have resulted in the exposure of sensitive personal information belonging to certain individuals, including current and former employees.

What Happened?

On March 11, 2026, an Iranian-linked hacking group known as “Handala” claimed responsibility for a destructive cyberattack on Stryker Corporation, posting the claim on its Telegram channel. That same day, Stryker disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it had experienced a cybersecurity incident causing disruptions and limited access to certain systems. As of March 17, 2026, Stryker reports that restoration of systems is “progressing steadily,” though there is still no timeline for operations to be fully restored.

The full scope and impact of the attack remain under investigation. Stryker has disclosed that the attack was limited to its internal Microsoft environment, with no affect on systems related to connected medical products. According to reporting by BleepingComputer, the attackers compromised an administrator account, created a new Global Administrator account, and issued a wipe command via Microsoft Intune to erase data from nearly 80,000 devices on Stryker’s network.

Stryker stated that it has no indication of ransomware or malware and believes the incident has been contained. The full scope and impact of the attack remain under investigation.

What Information Was Impacted?

Upon information and belief, the following types of sensitive personal information, belonging to current and former employees of Stryker, may have been compromised:
    • Names;
    • Contact information;
    • Personally identifiable information provided to Stryker in the course of employment; and
