In the wake of the extensive airstrike operations conducted by the United States and Israel over Iran in late February, the cybersecurity sector anticipated retaliatory cyber offensives targeting Western entities. Tuesday night saw such an incident unfold in the US: a data breach at the medical technology company Stryker, believed to have ties to Iran, disabled tens of thousands of computers and disrupted global operations. The Iranian hacking collective Handala took responsibility for the breach.
A pronouncement on Handala’s website characterized the cyber operation as a reaction to the American Tomahawk missile assault that claimed the lives of 165 civilians at a girl’s educational institution in Iran and the ongoing hacking actions of the US and Israel. This pronouncement marks the beginning of a new phase in cyber warfare.
Once relatively unknown, Handala—named after a character created by Palestinian artist Naji al-Ali—is regarded by cybersecurity analysts, particularly in Israel, as a façade for Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence. Renowned for its data-deletion and hack-and-leak strategies, its targets have included the Albanian government and Israeli organizations.
In light of escalating existential threats, Iranian hackers, chiefly Handala, are encouraged to use every intended tool and network access against the US and Israel, stated Sergey Shykevich from the cybersecurity firm Check Point. Shykevich identifies Handala as the most active and prominent group in this vengeful campaign.
While hacking collectives often inflate their achievements, Handala has claimed numerous victims, predominantly in Israel, throughout the recent hostilities. Merging chaotic hacktivist tactics with governmental capabilities, the group acts as a primary cyber-retaliation entity for Iran, according to Justin Moore from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42.
Despite the chaos it generates, Handala’s operational coherence is doubtful, according to Rafe Pilling from Sophos’ X-Ops team. The group attempts swift access and infliction of damage in reaction to airstrikes that reportedly impact Iran’s cyber capabilities. Currently, Handala seems to be exploiting any available opportunity without an evident strategic framework.
The Australian productivity software firm Atlassian implemented layoffs as it aims to invest more resources into AI.
On March 11, Atlassian revealed it will reduce its workforce by 10%, which equates to approximately 1,600 individuals. The organization stated that this move enables increased investment in AI, enterprise sales, and financial fortification.
Specifically, Atlassian indicated that while it is performing well, it is opting to adjust to prevailing market conditions.
“The expectations for what defines ‘great’ in software companies — regarding growth, profitability, speed, and value creation — have risen,” Atlassian’s CEO Mike Cannon-Brooks noted in a press release concerning the layoffs.
TechCrunch contacted Atlassian for further details on which specific roles were affected and the next steps moving forward.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of a similar, though more severe, proclamation from Block CEO Jack Dorsey. In February, the payments firm declared that it was eliminating over 4,000 jobs, nearly 50% of its workforce of 10,000 at that time.
Dorsey explained that the layoffs were influenced by the potential of AI to automate many tasks previously handled by these workers and anticipated that numerous other businesses would reach this same realization.
A number of enterprise-focused venture capitalists predicted to TechCrunch that 2026 would mark the beginning of AI making a significant impact on labor.
Thus far, their prediction has materialized.
