IBM Uncovers Global Phishing Campaign Targeting the COVID-19 Vaccine Cold Chain
This is a pretty interesting article. The details are difficult to comprehend (and somewhat vague) but also mostly irrelevant to anyone not directly involved in the security field.
Nonetheless, the realization that global (and perhaps nation-state sponsored) malicious activity could be deployed at this scale against such a critical target is staggering.
Why? Maybe some kind of commercial mischief—stealing intellectual property, fixing prices, or establishing a black market, for example. Or maybe something less direct, like damaging the reputation of a country or company or even a specific person. Or simply sowing doubt and confusion, or other stuff. Or making money, as with ransomware.
The possibilities are chilling. They are also real.
