An electronic network for counterfeiting Corona vaccination certificates seized in Italy
Italian police seized several channels and accounts on the “Instagram” chat application, which were used by criminals to provide fake digital copies of vaccination certificates against the emerging Corona virus at the European Union level.
In all, it concerned 10 channels and accounts, which led users to unknown accounts of shopping places on the "dark web", according to what the financial police in Rome announced today, Saturday.
The dark web is an important part of the internet system, and it allows websites to be published and information published without revealing the identity or location of the publisher.
The dark web can be accessed through certain services such as Tor.
It is reported that through these sites sellers offer fake copies of digital certificates, in exchange for payment in cryptocurrencies.
The certificates state that the owners have received a full vaccination against Covid-19.
They are necessary for travel within the European Union, and are called "green passports".
The fee for one certificate is between 110 and 130 euros ($131 to $154).
