This made news in Canada too. Seems the Russians are looking to bypass the whole R&D process. They and China really don't like to innovate...

Russian hackers behind cyberattacks on coronavirus vaccine developers: US, UK, Canada intel

Russian cyber hackers are targeting organizations involved in coronavirus vaccine development, security officials in the U.S., United Kingdom and Canada claimed Thursday.


The British National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) published an advisory detailing the activity of the threat group known as APT29, which “has exploited organizations globally.”

The NCSC assessed that APT29, also named “the Dukes” or “Cozy Bear,” almost certainly operate as part of Russian Intelligence Services. The assessment is supported by partners at the Canadian Communication Security Establishment (CSE), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA).

Why is this even a secret? Virus research should be open-source!
