SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) - Hackers working in the interests of the Iranian government have attempted to break into the personal email accounts of staff at the World Health Organization during the coronavirus outbreak, four people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The latest effort has been ongoing since March 2 and attempted to steal passwords from WHO staff by sending malicious messages designed to mimic Google web services to their personal email accounts, a common hacking technique known as “phishing,” according to four people briefed on the attacks. Reuters confirmed their findings by reviewing a string of malicious websites and other forensic data.

“We’ve seen some targeting by what looks like Iranian government-backed attackers targeting international health organizations generally via phishing,” said one of the sources, who works for a large technology company that monitors internet traffic for malicious cyber activity.

They cant even buy meds from foreign countries to treat corona patients due to sanctions imposed by America, you think they are capable enough to make a vaccine, a vaccine that even super powers countries like USA, CHINA are unable to create at such a critical time when thousands of people are dying each day.

they’re doing this because i suppose WHO is publishing actual facts and figures which is way more than what their state controlled media is sharing. supreme leader has already been lied about the passenger aircraft incident in recent months, the facts and figures published on their media is another lie i believe. Even China is lying about the actual number of casualties.

Probably angry with WHO?

Probably angry for sharing actual facts and figures instead of believing what their state controlled media is sharing.
