Iran’s cyber ecosystem operates through a layered structure that combines state-directed APT groups (IRGC-linked and MOIS-linked); semi-official contractors and front entities; hacktivist personas and collectives operated by intelligence services; and ideologically aligned foreign collectives operating in parallel. The Stryker Corporation attack on March 11, 2026 marked a significant escalation: a destructive wiper operation against the US, executed without malware by abusing legitimate MDM infrastructure representing a qualitative shift in Iranian operational capability and willingness to target Western corporate infrastructure.
