Europol has issued a warning about the rise of vaccine-related Dark Web activity. The agency joins a chorus of security professionals that have concerns about widespread attacks on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Europol discovered a Mexico-based operation pushing fake influenza vaccines on the cybercrime underground in October. It added that high demand for the vaccine and potential shortages will likely drive consumers online looking for alternatives. Cybercriminals advertise their fake vaccines using the brands of genuine pharmaceutical companies that are already in the final stages of testing.
