Unknown activists have posted nearly 25,000 email addresses and passwords allegedly belonging to the National 
Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and other groups working to combat the 
coronavirus pandemic, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors online extremism and terrorist groups.

While SITE was unable to verify whether the email addresses and passwords were authentic, the group said the 
information was released Sunday and Monday and almost immediately used to foment attempts at hacking and harassment by 
far-right extremists. An Australian cybersecurity expert, Robert Potter, said he was able to verify that the WHO email 
addresses and passwords were real.
