What happened
Multiple high-impact threats reported: an Iran-linked actor claims a destructive wiper attack against medtech firm Stryker, forcing large-scale worker evacuations in its Irish hub and causing building-level disruptions. The massive Kimwolf IoT botnet (reported >2 million devices) continues to power large DDoS campaigns, has disrupted the I2P anonymity network, and is implicated in takeover attempts (including Badbox 2.0), with the alleged botmaster known as “Dort” drawing attention. A new phishing-as-a-service called “Starkiller” proxies real login pages and relays victims’ credentials and MFA
