Hackers target the Covid-19 vaccine distribution chain

IBM X-Force warned about που στοχεύουν οργανισμούς οι οποίοι σχετίζονται με την αλυσίδα αποθήκευσης εμβολίων κατά του COVID-19, σε μια μεγάλη εκστρατεία spear-phishing που ξεκίνησε από τον Σεπτέμβριο του .

Οι οργανισμοί που είναι υπεύθυνοι για την αποθήκευση και παράδοση των εμβολίων Covid-19 στην σωστή θερμοκρασία, έχουν γίνει στόχος για τους hackers. Τα εμβόλια κατά του κορονοϊου πρέπει να αποθηκεύονται, μέχρι να χορηγηθούν στους ανθρώπους, σε ιδιαίτερα χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες. Για να είναι ασφαλή θα πρέπει να φυλάγονται στους μείον 70 βαθμούς Κελσίου για αυτό που έκανε η and minus 20 Celsius for the one developed by Moderna. That is why these organizations are also referred to as cold chain organizations.

In an IBM X-Force report, published today, Claire Zaboeva, an analyst, said: “Phear-phishing emails were sent to selected executives at sales, procurement, information technology and finance positions, but also to the entire supply chain organizations ”

This phishing campaign has focused attacks on global organizations based around the world, ranging from , Italy, South Korea and the Czech Republic to wider Europe and Taiwan.

The ultimate goal of hackers seems to be to collect credentials, which will later be used for further compromises and regarding the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

Η DHS-CISA also issued a , in coordination with the IBM X-Force report, warning organizations involved in the storage and transport of COVID-19 vaccines to mind their defenses.

In their phishing emails, the attackers impersonate a business executive from Haier Biomedical, a Chinese company known as "the world's only complete cold chain organization" and as a specialist supplier for the program Cold Chain Optimization Program (CCEOP) of the Vaccine Alliance.

No wonder these supply chains are being targeted by hackers. With the whole world dealing with the coronavirus the hackers have smelled money. Last month, the large cold storage organization Americold was hit by a cyber attack and forced to shut down its computer systems.

Although Americold has not been publicly confirmed as an organization involved in the COVID-19 refrigeration supply chain, Air Cargo World's news website he mentioned that Chicago Rockford Airport wants to partner with Americold to store COVID-19 vaccines before distribution.
