"If your health pass is spoofed, report it to the TousAntiCovid support", explain the services of the application which is used to host the vaccination certificates as well as the Covid-19 screening.

To do this, you must reach the support at 0 800 08 71 48, or by e-mail at revocation-passe-sanitaire@sante.gouv.fr.

The old pass will then be deactivated, "and a new vaccination certificate or a test certificate will be generated", specifies the TousAntiCovid account, without detailing the timeframe within which this new QR code will be delivered, nor how the identity of the people making the request can be confirmed.

Many security issues

It remains to prove that the system is operational on Friday, which doubts BFMTV, which has tried to reach the support twice by phone and once by e-mail, for the moment without success.

The issue of security around health QR codes emerged a few days ago, while President Emmanuel Macron's pass leaked on social networks, allowing many users to appropriate it and access data from his vaccination.

A few days earlier, it was the health pass of Prime Minister Jean Castex which had been obtained by Internet users, from a press photograph.

Fraud linked to health passes are numerous, according to the health insurance services, which estimates that nearly 36,000 people have benefited from false health passes.

Fourteen vaccination centers and 138 health professionals are also in the sights of its services.
