Vaccine for COVID-19: a Trifluvian company targeted by espionage?
Three Rivers — The search for a vaccine against COVID-19 is driving a frantic race around the world, and it seems that companies looking for this vaccine are being targeted by industrial espionage. All indications are that Biotechnologies Ulysses de Trois-Rivières, which is conducting research to develop an oral vaccine, is in the sights of foreign hackers.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) of Canada has confirmed to the president of this company, Yves Hurtubise, an increase in visits to the websites of Canadian companies such as Ulysses Biotechnologies that were carried out via computers located in China, Russia and Iran.
