🏥 Stryker Systems Disrupted by Global Cyberattack Medical technology giant Stryker suffered a major cyberattack that disrupted its internal Microsoft Windows environment across 61 countries, causing ordering and shipping delays for medical devices. An Iran-linked hacktivist group named Handala claimed responsibility, alleging they executed a destructive wiper attack in retaliation for geopolitical events, though Stryker states the incident is contained and there is no evidence of malware or ransomware.
🪟 Microsoft March 2026 Patch Tuesday Addresses Two Zero-Days Microsoft’s March 2026 Patch Tuesday released security updates for 79 vulnerabilities, including two publicly disclosed zero-days. The critical flaws include CVE-2026-21262, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in SQL Server that could grant attackers full administrative control, and CVE-2026-26127, a denial-of-service bug in the .NET framework that allows remote attackers to crash applications.
⚖️ LexisNexis Exfiltrated in React2Shell Cloud Breach Legal data broker LexisNexis confirmed that a threat actor known as FulcrumSec exploited a vulnerability in an unpatched React front-end (React2Shell) to access its AWS cloud environment. The attackers successfully exfiltrated approximately 2 GB of structured data, compromising millions of records and tens of thousands of customer accounts, though the company claims the exposed data was primarily legacy information.
