In a bid to be the first nation to develop a coronavirus vaccine, the major powers are all standing one against another. When the newsbroke that Russia might actually be the first one to come up with a vaccine, other countries seemed to have become more cautious.

According to the reports, the Intelligence agency of the United States United Kingdom and Canada accused hackers of trying to steal valuable private information about a coronavirus vaccine. But the highlight is that they believe those hackers are working for the Russian intelligence.

The National Cyber Security Centre of the UK is ‘almost certain’ that APT29, also going by the name 'The Dukes' or 'Cozy Bears' connected to Russian intelligence and are targeting valuable findings on the coronavirus vaccine. Though Russia has denied any such connection.
