INTERPOL has issued a global warning about organized crime groups that are targeting governments, using bogus offers that peddle COVID-19 vaccines. The warning was issued to all of INTERPOL’s 194 member countries after the international law enforcement agency registered roughly 60 cases from 40 countries.

The scammers focused on employees of both hospitals and health ministries, offering to sell COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for distribution in their respective countries. To dupe their targets, the cybercriminals masqueraded as representatives of either vaccines manufacturers or governmental authorities directing the vaccine distribution efforts.
