Stryker, a major U.S. medical technology company, has said that its products are “fully safe to use” after it was targeted in a cyberattack that has been linked to a group of Iran‑aligned hackers.
In an update early Thursday, the firm said it was continuing to resolve the disruption caused by the cyberattack, but added there was no indication of malware or ransomware.
“Our products like Mako, Vocera and LIFEPAK35 are fully safe to use,” it added.
“We have visibility to the orders entered before the event, and they will be shipped as soon as our system communications are restored. Any orders that have come in after the event are being examined.
“We are working to ensure our electronic ordering system is back up and running as quickly as possible.
“It is safe to communicate with Stryker employees and sales representatives by email and phone, and within your facility.”
