Stryker devices wiped through a compromised Intune account

A look at the cost of compromise

Attack + Goal

March 2026 on Stryker, $25B med-tech company. Goal was geopolitical disruption.

Result

200k devices wiped, cardiac transmission system offline, +5k employees sent home

Method

Likely spear phish and credential theft of a legitimate admin-level account; no malware or ransomware was used.

Financial Impact

Estimated $24–$40M in direct hardware cost, $15M–$50M in operational disruption, $62M–$140M in total direct and indirect costs (source)

In March 2026, Stryker, a $25B medical device maker, suffered a mass wipe of its entire device fleet. Attackers had gained access to their device management platform, Microsoft Intune, to issue a legitimate wipe command across 200,000 devices in 79 countries. Corporate laptops were erased. Personal phones enrolled through the company's BYOD program were factory reset, wiping employees' photos and personal apps along with corporate data. Paramedic teams even lost access to cardiac monitoring tools mid-shift and had to fall back to radio.

The wipe command came through Intune directly from a legitimate account with admin-level access, and it performed as it was designed to do.

The cost of an incident like this isn't only the operational disruption of each day spent recovering. It's the reputational damage. And it just takes one account. Credential abuse was the initial access vector in 22% of breaches in 2025 (Verizon).

Flag admin credentials shortly after they surface in a phishing kit, before they can be used to issue a wipe command.

How PreBreach Intelligence Solves ATO

How PreBreach Intelligence Solves ATO

Modern fraudsters use infostealer malware to bypass MFA entirely and walk straight into an account as a 'trusted user.' If you’re waiting for a login flag to trigger, you’ve already lost.

Cookie Invalidation

We identify stolen session tokens in transit. You can programmatically kill that session in your app, forcing the fraudster back to a login screen they can’t get past.

Malware-to-Alert Mapping

We tell you which of your users currently have an active infection on their device. You can proactively reset their password and clear their sessions before the "Log" is even sold on the dark web.

Automated Remediation

Our Azure-focused platform is plug-and-play. You set what auto-remediations you want to occur, what alerts you get, and we take care of the rest.

Compromised Credentials

We see when an email and password is compromised, long before threat actors have time for lateral movement, exfiltration, or monetization. That's your window to act.

Over 60% of modern ATO attacks now involve session cookie theft, allowing attackers to clone a user's logged-in state without needing a password or SMS code. (Source: Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2026)
