Some keys that allow the generation of the European Green pass would have been stolen and with them programs to create fake certificates would have been published and disseminated online.

It is learned from qualified Italian sources according to which it has already been decided to cancel all the passes generated with those keys.

In addition, a series of meetings at European level between all the technical stakeholders involved would be scheduled in the morning for an in-depth analysis of the situation.

It is not known at the moment the number of codes stolen or if the problem also concerns Italy, even if investigations are in progress.

The theft of the keys would not have occurred in Italy: according to what is learned, from the first investigations carried out, there would be no cyber attacks on Sogei, the Information technology company of the Ministry of Economy that provides the codes to generate the certificates for Italy greens.

The attack could therefore have targeted a counterpart in another European country.

At the moment, however, the keys that have been stolen have been canceled and, consequently, all the green passes generated with those codes have been invalidated.
