According to by IBM security researchers, a global phishing campaign has been targeting organizations linked with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines since September 2020. Claire Zaboeva and Melissa Frydrych reported that the phishing campaign is prevalent in six regions around the world, namely Germany, Italy, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Taiwan, and greater Europe. Some of the newly developed COVID vaccines need very low temperatures (around -70 degrees Celsius) to remain useful, which involves a lot of challenges in transportation and storage. According to the IBM X-Force IRIS researchers, the phishing campaign is mainly centered around the this “cold chain” part of the vaccine distribution supply chain.
