Russian intelligence has been accused by America and Britain of carrying out cyberattacks using new techniques, after it was exposed for hacking of targets ranging from Covid vaccine supply chains to the US agency safeguarding its nuclear stockpile.
The Russian foreign intelligence service, SVR, was blamed for the cyberattacks last year, described as the worst ever in the US, with seven other countries, including the UK, also affected.
Now the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency) in the US, and NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) in the UK has warned that “SVR cyber operators” have reacted to previous investigations by changing their “TTP [tactics, techniques and procedures] in an attempt to avoid further detection and remediation efforts by network defenders”.

The UK Government’s target of 15 million vaccines administered by mid-February was met this weekend, and with it the UK has reached an important milestone. However, not everyone in vulnerable categories has been reached and the lifting of restrictions, particularly social distancing, looks increasingly dependent on a more comprehensive vaccine rollout.
What of the security operation behind the rollout? The Government will only say that it takes the security of vaccines “extremely seriously” and that, to ensure this, it’s working directly with suppliers and national and international law enforcement agencies, discussing, among other things, “counterfeiting measures and secure transport.”
