Russian cyber spies are trying to steal research into coronavirus vaccines and treatments from Britain, the US and Canada, the three countries claimed on Thursday.
The attack is ongoing, with British cyber experts working to defend research institutes, laboratories and other targets in the UK, according to a branch of the spy agency GCHQ.
The NCSC, which is the lead organisation in responding to cyber attacks on the UK, released an advisory that set out details of how the Russian cyber spies are allegedly attempting to steal highly valuable research into treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 from universities, pharmaceuticals and research institutes involved in the coronavirus response.
