Hackers linked to Russia’s state intelligence agencies are attempting to steal secret research on coronavirus vaccines from UK labs, the National Cyber Security Centre has said.

In a co-ordinated announcement with security agencies in the US and Canada, the NCSC pointed the finger at an established hacker group known as APT29, Cozy Bear or The Dukes.

And for the first time since the shady group’s existence became known, the allied agencies said that APT29 is “almost certainly” operating as part of Russian intelligence services.
