The Jamaica Gleaner posted an article on February 22, 2021, about a new vulnerability being discovered in the JamCOVID site. Below are some key highlights:
- Another alleged security flaw associated with the JAMCOVID application has reportedly been uncovered just days after its developer, Amber Group, sought to reassure that the application is safe.
- The researcher was not named as there is now fear that the Jamaica Government could go after the whistleblowers exposing the security flaws.
- The application is also used to track the movement of those placed in quarantine. Last week, the Ministry of National Security, smarting from the embarrassing ordeal which had placed the spotlight on the security of the application, said it had opened a criminal probe into the matter although it has shed very little details on its ongoing investigation.
