Medical device manufacturer Stryker experienced a cyber attack last week that has resulted in surgical delays for certain patients, according to a report from Bloomberg News released Wednesday.
The digital security breach temporarily disrupted Stryker’s operations, specifically affecting their capacity to provide customized medical equipment and supplies. A company representative told Bloomberg that “as a result, some patient-specific cases have been rescheduled” due to the inventory delivery problems caused by the system outage.
When contacted by Reuters for additional details about the incident, Stryker had not yet provided a response.
