Analysis Summary

Threat actors are actively targeting organizations associated with the COVID-19 vaccine cold chain. The experts uncovered a large scale spear-phishing campaign that has been ongoing since September 2020. Threat actors are impersonating a biomedical company, Haier Biomedical, and are sending out spear-phishing messages to executives and global organizations involved in vaccine storage and transport. Haier Biomedical is a legitimate member company of the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain, it is also a qualified supplier for the CCEOP program.
