Hackers targeting coronavirus health workers in the UK and US, officials warn
Security agencies in both the UK and US have warned that hackers are targeting organisations involved in the coronavirus response.
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), claim that hackers have targeted international healthcare and medical research organisations.
Paul Chichester, NCSC Director of Operations, said: “Protecting the healthcare sector is the NCSC’s first and foremost priority at this time, and we’re working closely with the NHS to keep their systems safe.
“By prioritising any requests for support from health organisations and remaining in close contact with industries involved in the coronavirus response, we can inform them of any malicious activity and take the necessary steps to help them defend against it.
