Covid, ToothPic experts: “Do not publish QR Code Green Pass on social networks”

After a year of restrictions for Covid-19, the Vaccinal Green Pass appears as one of the first achievements towards normality and to celebrate this milestone many have shared and published the QR Code of their vaccination pass on the social pages, “unaware of sensitive data contained within it and the possible risks of any fraudulent actions by third parties “. To clarify what information can be found by an attacker who comes into possession of the QR Code of the Vaccinal Pass and what the consequences are, are the experts of ToothPic, an innovative cybersecurity startup born in Turin. “The QR code of the Green Pass contains a series of information such as name, surname, date of birth, social security number, number of vaccinations and any tampons you have undergone” explain the founders of ToothPic, a spin-off of the Politecnico di Torino, Enrico Magli, Diego Valsesia, Giulio Coluccia and Tiziano Bianchi. ToothPic has invented, designed, developed and patented a unique Mfa-Multifactor Authentication technology that allows the smartphone to become a secure access key for online authentication, exploiting the hidden and involuntary signature that leaves each camera. “Trivially, everyone. of us can verify the data contained within by downloading the application VerifyC19 made available by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry for Technological Innovation “explain the ToothPic experts. “Sharing the QR code of your Green Pass is not the only dangerous action that it would be better not to do lightly. It is also necessary to be very careful to read QR codes published by others, not necessarily linked to a Green Pass. QR codes, in fact , they can lead us to click on links pointing to potentially malicious content “add ToothPic experts.
