China busted trying to steal Covid-19 vaccine data from Moderna
(31 Jul 2020) China, the communist-controlled nation which unleashed a pandemic on the world, is now trying to steal the potential vaccine for the virus from the men and women working tirelessly to develop the therapy. The United States Department of Justice announced last week the indictment of two government-backed Chinese hackers who had targeted Massachusetts-based biotech firm Moderna (MRNA $12-$75-$95) in an attempt to access classified data surrounding a Covid-19 vaccine in late-state trials. Cybersecurity experts working with the firm uncovered the criminal activities and alerted the FBI, who were able to ultimately finger the perps. The DoJ also mentioned breaches at two other biotech firms, one in California and another in Maryland, stemming from China. Last week the United States ordered the Chinese consulate in Houston closed due to a number of national security threats emanating from members of the consulate—such as providing fake passports and credentials to Chinese nationals attempting to gain employment at medical research facilities. China has denied all charges, labeling them "baseless accusations." Moderna's most promising vaccine, with the help of a $483 million government contract, has entered a Phase 3 trial with 30,000 participants.
