The regional systems of Lombardy, Campania, Lazio, Puglia, Calabria and Veneto would have been violated through the access channels of pharmacies by illegal intrusions that have made it possible to obtain more than 120 fake Green Passes but working for as many people who have bought them without having carried out any type of vaccination or even taking samples.
The investigations carried out by the Postal Police on behalf of the Naples Public Prosecutor’s Office led to searches throughout the Italian peninsula, succeeding in discovering the fake Green Passes. These false certifications were obtained by circumventing the IT security measures of regional health systems made available to pharmacies that used certain channels to enter swab and vaccine codes to generate Green Passes.
Fake Green Pass: 120 certifications sold without vaccines or swabs
In this case, the techniques used to access the system access identifiers made available to pharmacies were varied and concerned sophisticated phishing techniqueswith e-mails that simulated the institutions of the health system of the regions concerned, allowing the recipients of the e-mails to access a website created ad hoc and perfectly identical to that of the health system, clearly obtaining the Green Pass codes .
But not only because in other cases the fake Green Pass had been reproduced via international VoIP calls which masked the real phone number of the caller, simulating that of the regional health system instead. The Postal Police carried out more than 40 searches but also 67 preventive seizures. AND there are already 15 people under investigation and who are held responsible for unauthorized access to the information systems of the regional health systems concerned but also for the creation of fake Green Passes in addition to the sale of these.
In this case clearly the fake Green Passes have all been detected and also deactivated in order to clearly prevent further use. In the specific case, the users of the fake Green Passes have already been located and concern the provinces of Naples, Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Salerno, Bolzano, Como, Grosseto, Messina, Milan, Monza-Brianza, Reggio Calabria, Rome and Trento . However, investigations are underway aimed at defining the real number, which at the moment seems larger, of those who have turned to the criminal organization over time to obtain other fake Green Passes for payment.
