Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine docs hacked in Europe, companies say

 

• Pfizer (PFE -1.5%) and BioNTech (BNTX -3.4%) say documents related to their development of a COVID-19 jab have been “unlawfully accessed” in a cyber attack on Europe’s medicines regulator. No further details were provided.
• Both the company said no personal data of trial participants have been compromised and the European Medical Agency “has assured us that the cyber attack will have no impact on the timeline for its review.” They also added that “no BioNTech or Pfizer systems have been breached in connection with this incident".
• The Pfizer-BioNTech jab is among the top contenders in a global race to roll out a vaccine for COVID-19. Under emergency use nod, administration has begun in Britain.
• The vaccine is still being reviewed by the European Union, which is expected to complete by Dec. 29.
