03 August 2021 "The virus has encrypted sensitive data, we are facing something worrying but

the data are all secure

. As Councilor D'Amato said yesterday, thanks to the collaboration with General Figliuolo there is a transmission of the data, with a few hours delay, to the national Cento to also have the green pass. The vaccination data have not been stolen, now they must be transmitted safely on other external platforms ". Thus the president of the Lazio Region Nicola Zingaretti at 'Agorà Estate' on Rai3 regarding the

hacker attacks

that have hit the computer system of the Region since last Sunday.



The situation has not yet returned to normal: "

Tonight there were many attacks

", said Zingaretti, and the emergency regarding the restoration of the system" unfortunately continues ", he added." The vaccination campaign in Lazio - the president then assured - is not blocked. Indeed I

appeal to all citizens

who have the reservation to go to vaccination centers. And 'suspended reservations until further notice but soon reactivate this too ", while" you are working day and night, we are confident in the coming days to reopen the portal of bookings. "



Health and financial data safe, says Zingaretti, who nevertheless stressed : "We are talking about an Italy lagging behind in the digital world, in reality what is emerging is that we have to

run on

cybersecurity

because a part of Italy is already in the digital dimension, perhaps thanks also to Covid ". The president of the Lazio Region then added that" at the moment there has been no request for a ransom, the issue has arisen because the the objective of these cyber attacks all over the world is that of ransom ".



" An investigative hypothesis - explained Zingaretti - which arises from the fact that this kind of cyber attack is a prelude to a request for a ransom or the auctioning of codes on dark room ". The hacker attack on the Ced del Lazio, which according to some sources would have

started in Eastern Europe

, for the president of the Zingaretti Region is" a terrorist act "of enormous gravity, as he stated at a press conference on Monday afternoon. The Minister of the Interior

Luciana Lamorgese

will be heard on

Copasir

during the day.
