"When it comes to the data submitted to these kinds of regulatory bodies, we are talking confidential information about the vaccine and its mechanism of action, its efficiency, its risks and known possible side effects and any unique aspects such as handling guidelines. It also provides detailed information on other parties involved in the supply and distribution of the vaccine and potentially significantly increases the attack surface for the vaccine."Both the United States and the United Kingdom have warned against state-sponsored cyberattacks coming from either Russia or China specifically targeting pharmaceutical groups and academic research institutions with deep knowledge regarding the coronavirus vaccines they are developing. Experts have dubbed this cyber conflict to be an "intellectual property war." Hacks against nations and corporations have become prevalent in recent months. Allegations have been made against groups of hackers linked to Vietnam, Russia, North and South Korea, Iran and China. The allegations assert that these countries have, on separate occasions, tried to steal information regarding the virus and the development of potential treatments, including vaccines. Cybersecurity expert Dmitri Alperovitch said that every single major nation-state has been targeting, or has been the target of, a cyberattack in an attempt to obtain vaccine information. He added that the motives of the unknown assailants were "most likely intelligence collection on vaccine efficacy and safety." He then added that he was not certain why these actors would bother targeting these pharmaceutical companies, because all information regarding vaccine safety will be made public soon.
