Interpol, which is headquartered in France, said it had issued a
global alert to law enforcement across its 194 member countries,
warning them to prepare for organised crime networks targeting
COVID-19 vaccines, both physically and online.
"As governments are preparing to roll out vaccines, criminal
organisations are planning to infiltrate or disrupt supply chains.
Criminal networks will also be targeting unsuspecting members of the
public via fake websites and false cures, which could pose a
significant risk to their health, even their lives," said Interpol
secretary general Juergen Stock.
