"Yeah, we definitely saw that."
Queens guard Nasir Mann says the team has talked about our interview with #Purdue center Oscar Cluff thinking Queens is in New York and not Charlotte. Mann adds he's ready to put the Royals on the map.

@Austen Won’t intelligence make the marginal cost to provide intelligence essentially zero?

Everyone is freaking out about this but it seems like a completely reasonable thing to say.
It must be the “intelligence” word that triggers everyone?

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

JUST IN: The war just entered the operating room.
An Iran-linked hacker group called Handala claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Stryker Corporation, the American medical technology company that manufactures surgical robots, joint replacements, spinal implants, and operating room equipment used in hospitals across 79 countries. The Wall Street Journal confirmed the attack. ABC News confirmed global network disruption. Handala claims it wiped 200,000 systems and extracted 50 terabytes of data. Stryker confirmed the incident but reported no ransomware or malware detected. The Handala logo appeared on employee login screens across the company’s global operations.
The group’s manifesto is explicit. This is retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Handala is not anonymous. Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42, one of the world’s leading threat intelligence firms, links the group to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. The group emerged in late 2023 and specialises in wiper malware: software designed not to encrypt data for ransom but to destroy it permanently. They are not criminals seeking payment. They are operatives seeking damage. The distinction matters because you can negotiate with a ransomware gang. You cannot negotiate with a wiper deployed for geopolitical retaliation.
Stryker is not a defence contractor. It is not Palantir. It is not AWS hosting military workloads. It is a company that makes the instruments surgeons use to replace hips, repair spines, and operate on brains. Its annual revenue is $22 billion. It operates in 79 countries. Its stock dropped 3.4% on the news. And its network was disrupted not because it participated in a war but because it is American.
This is the war’s sixth front. The first was oil through a strait. The second was shipping through a chokepoint. The third was data through server farms. The fourth was money through banks. The fifth was the FBI warning California police about Iranian drones off the Pacific coast. The sixth is a medical technology company’s network wiped by an intelligence-service-linked hacker group whose manifesto explicitly names the war as justification.
Each front extends the war into a domain its predecessor did not contemplate. Oil. Shipping. Data. Money. Homeland. Now healthcare. The Mosaic Doctrine governs physical operations through 31 autonomous commands. The cyber domain operates under the same logic of deniability and distributed execution: Handala is affiliated with MOIS but maintains enough operational independence that Iran can deny direct involvement while benefiting from the disruption. The physical doctrine and the cyber doctrine mirror each other. Autonomous. Deniable. Destructive. And aimed at targets chosen not for military value but for psychological and economic impact.
Two hundred thousand systems wiped across 79 countries. Fifty terabytes of data from a company whose products are inside patients’ bodies right now. Surgical navigation systems. Operating room integration platforms. Hospital inventory networks. The data extracted is not financial. It is medical. Patient records. Device specifications. Surgical protocols. The war did not just reach Stryker’s servers. It reached every hospital that depends on Stryker’s network to operate safely.
President Trump said the war is won. The FBI is warning California. The IRGC is burning tankers. And an Iran-linked hacker group just wiped the systems of a company that makes the tools surgeons hold during open-heart surgery.
The war is not in the Strait anymore. It is in the server rack. It is in the surgical suite. It is everywhere the word “American” appears on a login screen.
