A cyberattack on US company Stryker has raised concerns among security experts who warn it could signal the beginning of a wider cyber campaign against Western organizations.
The attack, attributed to an Iran-linked hacker group, disrupted Stryker's global network and knocked thousands of employees offline.
Experts warn that this may be the start of a larger campaign, with critical US infrastructure, including data centers, banking networks, and energy facilities, potentially being targeted.
According to cybersecurity firm Binalyze, the Stryker breach could be the first in a wave of attacks, with hackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities in Western targets.
US officials have warned that the cyber operations come as the United States and Israel launched a major military offensive against Iran, which killed the country's supreme leader and several senior officials.
