EU medicine regulator suffers cyberattack

The EU’s medicines regulator, which is currently weighing up whether to give special approval for several coronavirus vaccines, says it had been the victim of a cyberattack.

“EMA has been the subject of a cyberattack. The Agency has swiftly launched a full investigation, in close cooperation with law enforcement and other relevant entities,” the Amsterdam-based European Medicines Agency says in a statement.
