In an update on the cyberattack, the EMA said the leaked documents included internal and confidential emails about the COVID-19 vaccine evaluation process and that “some of the correspondence has been manipulated by the perpetrators prior to publication in a way which could undermine trust in vaccines.”
The EMA was hit by the cyberattack in December, which left its data from Moderna, Pfizer and other third parties vulnerable to hackers. The agency is supporting a criminal investigation into the data breach.
