US medical equipment company Stryker says cyberattack disrupted its global networks

PORTAGE, Mich. (AP) — Stryker, a major U.S. medical equipment company, said a cyberattack disrupted its global networks Wednesday.

“We have no indication of ransomware or malware and believe the incident is contained. Our teams are working rapidly to understand the impact of the attack on our systems,” Stryker said in a statement on its website.

The logo of Handala, a hacking group linked to Iran, has appeared on company login pages, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Stryker's statement said the cyberattack hit its Microsoft programs. Emails seeking additional information were not immediately answered.

But in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Stryker said the timeline for a full restoration, as well as the “full scope” of the impact on business, were not yet known.

Stryker is based in Portage, Michigan, and makes a variety of medical products, from artificial joints to hospital beds. It had revenue of more than $25 billion in 2025. The company says it has 56,000 employees around the world.

Alexander Leslie, a senior adviser at Recorded Future, a global threat intelligence company, said what's notable is the “escalation in target choice and effect.”

Attacking a high-profile U.S. health care manufacturer “is exactly the kind of pressure point that creates outsized strategic and political ripple effects,” Leslie told The Associated Press.

There was a 14-point comeback win by Atlanta in New York, and a 19-point comeback win by Minnesota in Denver.

And it's unanimous: Victor Wembanyama is pretty good at defense.

Monday had some drama, and the NBA playoffs already seem to be in full swing. Through the first three days, three lower-seeded teams have already stolen home-court advantage away — Orlando did it in Detroit on Sunday, and then the Hawks and Timberwolves did the same on Monday.

Tuesday's schedule features three games: Philadelphia at Boston, Portland at San Antonio — where Wembanyama will be announced as Defensive Player of the Year for the first time — and Houston at the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics, Spurs and Lakers all lead those series 1-0.

— Cavaliers 115, Raptors 105 to take 2-0 series lead. Cleveland's Big 3 scores 83.

— Hawks 107, Knicks 106 to tie series 1-1. CJ McCollum got the last word at MSG.

— Timberwolves 119, Nuggets 114 to tie series 1-1. Jaden McDaniels had thoughts.

The finalists were unveiled Sunday night, led by the top three in the MVP voting — reigning winner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City, three-time winner Nikola Jokic of Denver and Wembanyama, a first-time finalist.

— “It felt like that was it. It really felt like that was it. Is it? I don’t know. Like I said, I hope not. But for some reason, it just felt like that was it. And man, if it was, what a run it’s been.” — Draymond Green, speaking on the future of Golden State coach Steve Kerr, on “The Draymond Green Show.”

— "I ain't no villain.” — Hawks guard CJ McCollum, after fans in New York booed him throughout Game 2 of Atlanta's win in that series.

— Over the last 30 years, Denver is 34-2 in playoff games where it has built a lead of 18 or more points. The two losses are both against Minnesota — and both at home, too. The Wolves rallied from 20 down to win Game 7 of the West semifinals in 2024, then rallied from 19 down on Monday.

— Speaking of Wolves-Nuggets, the teams have gone 15-15 against one another in their last 30 games. Average score of those games: Wolves 113, Nuggets 111.

— Jamal Murray made a 51-foot 3-pointer for Denver on Monday night. It was the longest make in a playoff game since ... Jamal Murray made a 55-footer in 2024.

— Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell has scored 30 or more points in each of his last three playoff games, going back to last season. That's the longest-active streak among players in these playoffs.
