The attack comes after Britannia accused Kremlin-linked hackers in July of targeting labs researching coronavirus vaccines and after a U.S. newspaper reported that cybercriminals had tried to attack several pharmaceutical firms developing vaccines. They included Johnson & Johnson, Novavax, AstraZeneca and South Korean laboratories.
The EMA has said it will give a decision on conditional approval for Pfizer/BioNTech's Covid-19 vaccine at a meeting that will be held by December 29 at the latest. A ruling on Moderna's version should follow by January 12.
