Worldwide Spy Epidemic - COVID-19.
The coronavirus generates symptoms that are little talked about: espionage and hacking.
The UK accused Russian intelligence services on Thursday, July 16, 2020 of being behind hacker attacks on organizations in the UK, Canada and the US to grab research into a vaccine. But the missions of the secret services of some states are not limited to this: they can range from surveillance to the dissemination of propaganda, intended to take advantage of general anxiety to sow confusion in rival countries.

CANADA
Spied research centers:
On May 14, 2020, Canadian intelligence (CSIS) reported an "increased risk of foreign interference and espionage" on companies and research centers in the country.
TROIS-RIVIÈRES (P.Q) Canada
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) warned the Ulysses Biotechnology Laboratory in spring 2020 that it could be spied on by China, Iran and Russia, among others.

CHINA
Accused of piracy:
On May 13, 2020, the United States accused China of attempting to hack U.S. research into a vaccine against the novel coronavirus. In mid-April 2020, British intelligence advised limiting the number of Chinese students in research laboratories.

UNITED STATES
Monitoring:
The CIA is monitoring the Chinese population and had warned the White House of the risks of a pandemic in January 2020, without obtaining a reaction.
Big data:
The privately held Palantir is funded by the CIA and provides data analysis software. Palantir works for the CIA, the NSA and the FBI, but offers his services to other governments. Ottawa (Canada) awarded him a contract in March 2019.

ISRAEL
Misappropriation of material:
A Mossad officer told TV on March 31, 2020 that the Israeli agency was engaged in a fierce battle with other countries to recover respirators at all costs.

RUSSIA
Professional trolls:
US and European agencies say thousands of Russian and Chinese accounts are spreading disinformation on social media to sow discord in Western societies. Example: A theory emerged in February 2020 saying that the coronavirus was invented by the United States to harm China.
Note that a few months later, a new conspiracy theory ignited social networks claiming, this time, that the coronavirus had been invented in Chinese laboratories.
