Hackers have attacked and shut down the computer systems of the company that manages COVID-19 vaccination appointments for the Lazio region around Rome, the regional government, said on Sunday
“A powerful hacker attack on the region’s CED (database) is under way,” the region said in a Facebook posting.
It’s understood that all systems have been disabled, including that of the region’s health portal and vaccination network, and warned that the vaccination program could be delayed.
Some systems have been brought back online but it’s believed that the hack has drastically slowed down the vaccine booking process and rollout in the area.
