Hitler and Mickey Mouse on the list of vaccinated: in Europe, the COVID passport system was hacked

In Europe, there are so-called “Covid passports”. This is a document that allows you to calmly

travel within the European Union. As it turns out, the COVID passport system is susceptible to hacking. Discuss

It is reported that there has been a digital leaka private key, which is used to validate and certify that the vaccine has been received. Thanks to this, anyone who has a key can fake a passport for themselves or for others. Many offer this service for money.

White hat hacker to pay attention todanger, issued a fake COVID certificate for Adolf Hitler. It turned out to be valid. However, it did not last long - the system recalled it. However, a short period of time is enough to use a fake passport.

The vulnerability allows the issuance of a fake certificate not only for a real, albeit already deceased person, but also for a fictional character - for example, Mickey Mouse.
