Some of the most <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2020\/11\/temperature-concerns-could-slow-rollout-new-coronavirus-vaccines\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently announced<\/a> vaccines need be stored and transported at temperatures between -20\u00b0C and -70\u00b0C to preserve the vaccine in a usable state before it is administered.<\/p>\n<p>Spear-phishing emails were sent to other companies by the malicious people, targeting those working in sales, procurement, IT and finance departments \u2013 but also to the EU&#8217;s Directorate-General for Tax and the Customs Union, which also sets rules on how vaccines cross the political bloc&#8217;s borders.<\/p>\n<p>According to IBM: &#8220;The Haier Biomedical employee who is purported to be sending these emails would likely be associated with Haier Biomedical&#8217;s cold chain distribution operations based on his role, which is listed in the email signature block.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We have asked Haier&#8217;s UK arm for comment and will update this article if we hear back from the firm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In times like these, knowledge is power \u2013 and so it inevitably becomes a big target,&#8221; said Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at ESET. &#8220;Malicious actors from around the world will be attempting to steal any data possible, however trivial it may seem, on the most sought-after vaccines the world has seen in generations. The potential impact of these vaccines naturally attracts attention from bad actors wanting to monetize or disrupt the situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year <i>The Register<\/i> reported how eavesdropping agency GCHQ claimed to be <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/11\/09\/gchq_hacks_russia_vaccine_disinfo\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">actively targeting<\/a> Russian hackers who were trying to illicitly access UK coronavirus research. Back in summer we also reported how GCHQ offshoot the National Cyber Security Centre, along with the US NSA spy agency, had <a target=\"_blank\"

institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Ross, a Barracuda Networks veep, opined: &#8220;The purpose of today&#8217;s concerted attack on the COVID vaccine supply &#8216;cold chain&#8217; is likely to acquire leverage in a multimillion-pound ransomware attempt, to sell key data on the &#8216;black market&#8217; to the highest international bidder, or, quite simply, to disrupt the UK&#8217;s standing as the first country in the world to start vaccinating its citizens on a mass scale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While IBM has not attributed the phishing campaign to any country or known hacking crew, it would be
