Friday 2100 Grand Ballroom: On March 11, 2026, the medical technology giant Stryker Corporation fell victim to a "zero-binary" wipe that factory-reset over 200,000 systems across 79 countries. No custom malware was needed; Handala simply turned the victim's own cloud management tools into a weapon. This was not a random act of hacktivism, but the output of a sophisticated nation-state "persona production line" designed for total infrastructure destruction.

This session provides the definitive post-mortem of the Stryker strike, pulling back the curtain on the "Manticore" ecosystem where Iranian intelligence (MOIS) and military (IRGC) units collaborate under a deniable mask. Ashley will explore the strategic "hand-off" between espionage groups and destructive cells, and provide an exclusive unmasking of the Tabriz-based operators behind the keyboard.
