Jamaica’s JAMCOVID breach – a letter to the editor by Mark Trought

The Jamaica Gleaner posted an article on February 20, 2021, which is a letter to the editor about Jamaica’s JAMCOVID breach. Below are some key highlights:

  • When data is stored on an unsecured online server, it is exposed to various threats; the most dangerous being that this data can be stolen.
  • However, stolen data is not like a person who robs a shop of bread because if the storekeeper kept proper records, it would show that a loaf of bread was missing. Because they just simply copied the data from the exposed servers.
  • There are 70,000+ persons who do not know if their information has fallen into the wrong hands.
