Both China and Russia were reportedly behind two cyberattacks last year at the European Medicines Agency that compromised documents related to covid-19 vaccines and treatments. That’s according to sources familiar with the ongoing investigation who spoke with the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant per Reuters. In December, the Amsterdam-based European drug regulator released a statement disclosing a breach and launched an investigation with Dutch and European law enforcement officials. The EMA hasn’t yet named any suspected culprits or possible motives. China-backed hackers attacked in the first half of 2020, while Russia followed later that year, stealing documents regarding covid-19 vaccines and medicines that were later leaked online, De Volkskrant reported on Saturday.
