SEOUL: A new North Korean unit for online piracy recently breached Pfizer's computer system: the aim was to steal secrets related to the development of the Covid-19 vaccine.

This episode was reported today by Daily NK on the basis of information obtained from a high-level source of the Kim Jong-un regime.

The news confirms what Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Intelligence Committee of the South Korean Parliament, declared on February 16 after having witnessed a briefing by the secret services.

But while the Seoul parliamentarian made direct reference to a hacker attack in Pyongyang on Pfizer, the intelligence agents in the South then specified that they had only provided a general picture of the situation.

They found that North Korean hacker attacks grew 32% from a year ago, including those to steal data on coronavirus vaccines, but did not name a specific pharmaceutical company among the victims.––Asia News
