July 16, 2020 - The British cyber-security agency launches new accusations against a Russian hacker group, believed to be "almost certainly" part of Moscow's intelligence, which allegedly attempted to steal research into potential coronavirus vaccines.    

The National Cyber ​​Security Center claimed that attempts by the APT29 group are underway and hackers have already targeted governmental, diplomatic, think-tank organizations that are working on the issue in the UK, US and Canada. Accusations also made in reference to the British elections in 2019.

But the Kremlin rejects the British accusations: "We have no information on who may have committed a hacker attack on the British pharmaceutical companies and research centers but we can say one thing: Russia has not nothing to do with these attempts, "said Putin's spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, also denying the allegations of Russian interference in the British parliamentary elections of December 2019." We do not tolerate such accusations as we do not tolerate other unfounded accusations on our interference in the 2019 elections, "said Peskov, taken over by the Russian state news agency Tass.

"Right now, with nearly 200 candidates for a potential vaccine and at different levels of development, there is a possibility that soon one or more will prove safe and effective. What happens next is equally important. It cannot be a one-man race. winner, when one or more vaccines are successful, it will have to be a victory for everyone ", reads the appeal, signed in the Washington Post by some world leaders including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in which he calls for collaboration international for the distribution of the vaccine, in order also not to accentuate the inequalities in the world.
