Intuitive Surgical, the maker of the da Vinci surgical robot, recently experienced a data breach due to a targeted phishing attack on an employee. While customer and employee data were compromised from its internal business network, the company emphasized that its surgical platforms, like da Vinci, were unaffected due to network segmentation. This incident follows another cyberattack on a medical technology company with ties to Israel, raising questions about potential connections to pro-Iranian hacker groups.
