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:

    You are hardly understand how this vaccine works.
    You are insane if you said vaccine is 100% safe. Nothing can be 100% safe.
    Yes, RNA is used to synthesize modified covid spike protein inside your cells.
    But your need to deliver vaccine RNA inside the cells.
    All approved vaccines using edited Adenovirus for that.
    Due to modifications Adenovirus can not reproduce but should penetrate cell membrane more efficiently.
    This is very roughly how it works.
    Now that can go wrong:
    1. Hypothetically delivery Adenovirus can start to do something not expected and bad due to hybridization inside the cells. Highly unlikely. Only concern is that we are using this tech for the first time for mass vaccination.
    2. Adenovirus can cause a high fever. Like 39C. Effect is limited because modified virus can't reproduce. But high temperature is well known side effect. If you are not healthy this can be fatal. Already unhealthy heart or another organ can fail.
    3. Immune system can overreact to anything: supplementary liquid, Adenovirus, spike protein. They control immediate allergic shock by asking you stay near for 15 minutes after vaccination.
    4. Due to weaken immunity system after vaccination it is more likely to get bacterial infection. People don't die from flu, you know. They die from additional conditions.

    So be aware, be mindful. Go for vaccination as healthy as possible. Don't go if you was ill recently. If you have chronic conditions think twice and consider options.
    And don't say bullshit about 100% safe.

    >You are hardly understand
    finish english, then take 8th grade biology, then finish high school in not alabama, then take some biochemistry in college like i did, then i might bother reading what you say.

    >All approved vaccines using edited Adenovirus for that.
    this is false. mRNA vaccines have zero to do with Adenovirus. you literally don't even have a "read the wiki entry" level knowledge of the subject, yet are here making bullshit fearmongering claims, which result in people ending up dead or sick if they listen to you.

    >So be aware, be mindful. Go for vaccination as healthy as possible. Don't go if you was ill recently. If you have chronic conditions think twice and consider options.

    under no circumstances follow any of this advice. and wtf is this rant about chronic conditions? what does that have to do w/ anything?

    people giving advice should have advanced knowledge of the subject matter. the idiot giving advice here wants to feel smart after watching a youtube video by another idiot like himself, but has zero idea of even the basics of anything. if you're able to survive being sick with the common cold for one day, go get the vaccine as soon as you can, and let this guy and his parents get sick and hopefully die.
