The United States, Britain and Canada say Russia is trying to steal information from researchers seeking a COVID-19 vaccine.

The three nations alleged Thursday that hacking group APT29, also known as Cozy Bear and said to be part of the Russian intelligence service, is attacking academic and pharmaceutical research institutions involved in coronavirus vaccine development.

Britain’s National Cybersecurity Centre made the announcement, which was coordinated with authorities in the U.S. and Canada. Cozy Bear has been identified by Washington as one of two Russian government-linked hacking groups that broke into the Democratic National Committee computer network and stole emails ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The other group is usually called Fancy Bear.

Trump has been on the offense against Russia and their attempts to hack US information from the beginning of his presidency. In 2018, per Trump’s direction, the CIA conducted offensive cyber operations against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Russia’s intelligence agency

The thing is, anyone can change a computer system or device name and IP address with or without a VPN.

Cozy bear group, hmm security software and defence in Russia is Believed or Suggested to be technologically more advanced than UK or USA investment, if it is compatible of hacking first world government agencies and the country not be hacked themselves'.

Scientific research is shared by global partners. I am sure, there is no need for government agencies to hack each other or hold back on scientific discovery, pandemic disease. Sharing information is important. covid19 who

Scientific research is shared by global partners. I am sure, there is zero need for government facilities to hack each other or holdback on scientific discovery, pandemic disease. covid19

VPN is the likely hassle. Hackers / Scammers operate from one country with the image of another. What activist civilian or group of Malaysian, Jewish or a EU nation isn't hacking government daily. The matter is US / UK lead technology vs China / Russia competitiveness.

Fox News reporting that Trump will personally review and quality control Covid data for accuracy. Trump will also safeguard data and make sure that it doesn’t fall into Russian hands should the Russian ambassador visit the White House.

At this point it’s getting embarrassing

Cue the president saying it's not true because Putin told him it's not true. And something stupid in the news to distract from it.

Rather hard to hack in English when they are in Russian... 😄

In the case of the US it may not have been a hack it might have been a giveaway.

Here's a story about theft USA TODAY will never report. Big Pharma steals American taxpayer funded research, then prices the same folks out of the medicines their monies created. Now that someone is stealing from these thieves...it's a story? Not at my house...sorry big pharma

I would think that they should be working together for the good of mankind. This isn’t a game show

Someone explain to me why ALL pharma companies are not simply working together and giving away formulas to provide a safe a FREE vaccine immediately to the entire planet? Oh right....profit over people.

Why steal? I’m sure if they just ask nicely the president will hand over everything they want..

Vaccine development should be open source

Good on them. Instead of sharing these big pharma vermin are profit seeking while the world burns. I hope they get hacked, its morally justifiable.

I despise the Russian Government, and Russia & China constantly hacking other countries for intellectual data has to be stopped, but isn't COVID research something EVERY country should be freely sharing with each other if we really want to stop the pandemic worldwide?

Oh Canada, don’t open your borders to us. As an American, I can tell you we are pretty shitty people when it comes to “our rights” as we see and interpret them. We will kill your citizens with “our rights”. Keep your borders closed until at least realDonaldTrump is evicted. DontBecomeAnotherFlorida Canada probably counted its COVID deaths using the metric system. If you adjust for imperial measurements and the exchange rate, their numbers are probably similar to ours. If not, hey, we’ve still got Gretzky on our side of the border.
