Security warning: State-backed hackers are trying to steal coronavirus research

Joint warning from UK National Cyber Security Centre and US Department of Homeland Security warns that cyberattackers are actively targeting healthcare with a variety of hacking tricks.

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups – sophisticated hacking groups generally linked to a nation-state – are looking to get hold of information about national COVID-19 responses, healthcare research or other sensitive data related to coronavirus, and are targeting organisations in sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, academia, medical research and local government, says the joint advisory.
