The European Medicines Agency (EMA) today revealed that some of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine data stolen from its servers in December was leaked online.
EMA is a decentralized agency responsible for reviewing and approving COVID-19 vaccines, as well as for evaluating, monitoring, and supervising any new medicines introduced to the EU.
"The ongoing investigation of the cyberattack on EMA revealed that some of the unlawfully accessed documents related to COVID-19 medicines and vaccines belonging to third parties have been leaked on the internet," EMA said today. "Necessary action is being taken by the law enforcement authorities."
"The Agency continues to fully support the criminal investigation into the data breach and to notify any additional entities and individuals whose documents and personal data may have been subject to unauthorized access."
EMA also said that European medicines regulatory network is fully functional and COVID-19 evaluation and approval timelines are not affected by the incident.
On December 31st, BleepingComputer became aware of threat actors leaking what they claimed was the stolen EMA data on several hacker forums. Below is a screenshot of one of the leaks seen by BleepingComputer at the time.
The hacked files show that the clinical vaccines had 78% RNA integrity which dropped to only 55% in the commercial batches:

this wasn't a rushed vaccine lol. this has been worked on for over a decade. the vaccine is "programmed" with genetic code to make a specific protein. they've had this vaccine for cancer treatment, and they've researched it for other covids. the first sars is a covid. half the common colds you get every year are covids.
here's what you're saying by "rushed." we've had a telephone for a hundred years. it hasn't been tested to dial 300-232-25533. we don't know if it'll blow up until we test dial that number a thousand times. if we try it a couple of times, it's rushed, and the phone is not safe.
do you think the flu shot we get every year is rushed? it may surprise you to know, since you clearly don't know jack, that every year you get a shot for a different flu virus, despite them all being flu viruses. i guess they're rushed every year according to you?
coronaviruses and vaccines against them aren't some new thing we just came up with. covid19 is. but covid19 is to coronaviruses, what a guy with a tiny penis (you) is to "humans," or what the blonde hooker who took your virginity at 25 is to "people."

That's just mean. AC you replied to *never* lost his virginity. Just, apparently, his brain.
Now you're just torturing him. Poor other AC.
