Thanks, Hackers, For Possibly Delaying Release Of A COVID-19 Vaccine

Description

The European Medicines Agency is the EU regulatory body responsible for COVID-19 vaccine approval. Now, Gizmodo reports a cyberattack on EMA's servers has produced an 'unlawful access' of documents related to a potential COVID-19 vaccine.

However, pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, announced that some of their own documents were caught up in the breach. There’s a chance that this latest attack might push Pfizer/BioNTech's timeline for an EU regulatory review of its proposed vaccine back a bit.

According to Business Insider, groups may try to sell counterfeit or expired vaccines, on a small-scale or a large-scale basis. Criminals may also try to 'sell' vaccines online, in an attempt to steal personal data and credit card numbers. They may also try to extort companies, or hold supply chains hostage in return for ransom money. Finally, they could do a better job than governments at vaccinating neighborhoods, thereby installing themselves as a semi-legitimate, parallel government.
