Hackers leaked altered Pfizer data to sabotage trust in vaccines

European Medicines Agency (EMA) today revealed that some of the stolen Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine candidate data was doctored by threat actors before being leaked online with the end goal of undermining the public’s trust in vaccines. EMA is the decentralized agency that reviews and approves COVID-19 vaccines in the European Union, and the agency that evaluates, monitors, and supervises any new medicines introduced to the EU. The data breach was limited to a single IT app, with the threat actors behind this attack primarily targeting data related to vaccines and medicines.
