COVID-19 vaccines are selling on the dark web for as much as $1,000 in bitcoin

to hit targets set by Operation Warp Speed. Check Point wrote in their report they believed scammers were merely playing on people's desperation to get the vaccine, especially those who are not included in the first tier of vaccine recipients.

According to the report, Check Point researchers were offered a dose of the coronavirus vaccine for $750 in bitcoin, after reaching out to one of the vendors claiming to provide the vaccine via Telegram, an encrypted messaging app. After the bitcoin payment was made, the vendor's account was deleted and the researchers did not receive the vaccine.
