The FBI has seized the website of the Iranian-linked hackers believed to be behind the recent cyberattack against Stryker. Stryker, a United States medtech organization based in Michigan, has been the only known U.S. target of a notable cyberattack in relation to the Iranian conflict.

The website now features logos for Justice Department and the FBI. “Law enforcement authorities determined this domain was used to conduct, facilitate, or support malicious cyber activities on behalf of, or in coordination with, a foreign state actor,” reads a statement on the site.

The hacker group in question, Handala, took credit for the attack on Stryker. While the U.S. government has not officially linked Handala to a specific Iranian agency, it is widely believed to be associated with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. 

An X account belonging to Handala was also suspended, but its Telegram channel remained active as of the morning of Mar. 19. On Telegram, the organization stated, “To all truth-seekers and defenders of justice, We inform you that the Handala RedWanted website, which was dedicated to exposing Zionist crimes and raising global awareness, has also been seized and taken offline by order of the FBI. This aggressive action reveals the extent to which the enemies of truth will go to silence voices that unveil their atrocities.” 

The Telegram channel additionally stated that a new website would be live soon.
