International organisations involved in distributing Covid-19 vaccines have been targeted by possible state-linked cyber spies, according to IBM.

The US tech giant said it had uncovered a “global phishing campaign” it believes started in September, targeting those associated with the “cold chain” for storing and transporting vaccines at the right temperature.
