Medical device giant hit by global network disruption after cyberattack possibly linked to pro-Iranian group

Michigan-based medical device company Stryker announced on Thursday it is experiencing a "global network disruption" to its Microsoft suite following a cyberattack that may have ties to a pro-Iranian group.

Fox News spoke to a Stryker employee based in Boise, Idaho, who confirmed the attack and said they were unable to access their network. 

The employee said they were advised to avoid connecting to any Stryker VPN networks or software on any device, and coworkers' work phones were wiped Wednesday morning.
