A series of cyberattacks is underway aimed at the companies and government organizations that will be distributing coronavirus vaccines around the world, IBM’s cybersecurity division has found, though it is unclear whether the goal is to steal the technology for keeping the vaccines refrigerated in transit or to sabotage the movements.
The findings are alarming enough that the Department of Homeland Security plans to issue its own warning on Thursday to Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s effort to develop and distribute coronavirus vaccines, federal officials said.

This doesn't surprise me it must be those anti-vaxxers trying to make sure a vaccine isn't approved so they won't be forced to take it or it must be foreign countries trying to steal data to copy what we've done. China wanted to be the first to create an implement a vaccine on the international scale.
