Suspected North Korean hackers have tried to break into the systems of British drugmaker AstraZeneca as it races to develop a Covid-19 vaccine.

The hackers posed as recruiters on networking site LinkedIn

They then sent documents purporting to be job

 sources, but are not thought to have been successful.
