State-sponsored hackers from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are engaged in concerted attempts to steal coronavirus vaccine secrets in what security experts describe as “an intellectual property war”.
They accuse hostile-state hackers of trying to obtain trial results early and seize sensitive information about mass production of drugs, at a time when a range of vaccines are close to being approved for the public.
Previously the hackers’ primary intention was to steal the secrets behind the design of a vaccine, with hundreds of drug companies, research labs and health organisations from around the world targeted at any one time.
- This year, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre said Covid vaccine research labs were being targeted in the UK, US and Canada by Cozy Bear Russian state hackers linked to the FSB internal security agency.
- In September, Chinese hackers were accused by Spain of stealing Covid research secrets from labs in a “particularly virulent” campaign.
- Hackers linked to Iran were accused of trying to steal secrets from US drugmaker Gilead Research in May
The world knows Trump doesn’t care about anything dealing with cyber except being able to tweet lies and conspiracy theories.
- Trump believes Coronavirus is hoax even as more than 250 thousand Americans have died from COVID-19.
- Trump believes Putin when he told him, Russia never interfered in U.S. elections even when all of America’s Intel agencies told him Russia did.
- Trump would give Russia the research from Pfizer, Moderna and anyone else Russia was interested in IF Putin could help him overturn the 2020 election results
