Stryker

Construction has started on Twelve03 at Centre South, a mixed-income apartment complex in Dilworth and South End, Charlotte. The development will include 329 units and is set to open by 2028, partnering with Inlivian, Charlotte’s housing authority. It is located near The Pearl Medical Campus, which is home to companies like Siemens, Stryker, and Ircad, as well as Wake Forest School of Medicine.

The U.S. Army plans to order 11,000 next-generation short-range air defense missiles (NGSRI) starting in FY2028 to replace the aging Stinger missile system. The NGSRI, part of the M-SHORAD program, will feature Mach 3 speed and compatibility with existing launchers, aiming to counter modern threats like drones and hypersonic missiles. Contractors are invited to submit cost proposals for production over a ten-year period.

Iranian-linked hackers launched systematic cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure following military operations in February 2026, including a major attack on medical technology company Stryker that wiped 80,000 devices and stole 50 terabytes of data. Despite destruction of Iran's primary cyber command center in Tehran, Iranian threat actors quickly adapted using alternative communication methods and infrastructure to continue operations targeting critical U.S. oil, gas, and water facilities.

Missile and drone attacks on cloud data centers in the Middle East have highlighted the critical vulnerability of digital infrastructure, which is increasingly reliant on AI workloads. Data centers are now a high-value target due to their importance in supporting AI and national security systems. Attacks on these infrastructures can inflict significant damage beyond financial losses.

Iranian hackers, including the Handala Hack Team, are targeting U.S. and Israeli officials and employees with data leaks and intimidation tactics. Leaked emails from FBI Director Kash Patel and Lockheed Martin employees highlight Iran's shift toward personal cyber warfare to erode trust and divert resources.

Iran-backed hacktivist group Handala claimed responsibility for a data-wiping attack on Stryker, a global medical technology company, in retaliation for a U.S.-attributed missile strike that killed many children.
