Dr. Reddy’s, the contractor for Russia’s “Sputinik V” COVID-19 vaccine and a major generics producer, has had to close plants and isolate its data centers.

COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories has shut down its plants in Brazil, India, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. following a cyberattack, according to reports.

The Indian company is the contractor for Russia’s “Sputinik V” COVID-19 vaccine, which is about to enter Phase 2 human trials. The Drug Control General of India (DCGI) gave the company the go-ahead on Oct. 19.

In the U.S., it’s a major producer of generics, including therapeutics for gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, pain management, oncology, anti-infectives, pediatrics and dermatology.

In addition to shutting down plants, the drug-maker has isolated all data center services in order to apply remediations, The Economic Times reported. Citing sources, ET said that the company was victimized by a data breach.
