In August 2021, ransomware operators targeted the health department of the Italian region of Lazio and disabled its COVID-19 vaccination booking system, disrupting the scheduling of new vaccination appointments for days.

Since it contains the city of Rome and is one of Italy’s most densely populated areas, Lazio was an attractive target because of the strong desire among its people to get vaccinated and gain its Green Pass vaccine passport. Hackers likely believed that this would pressure the authorities to pay up the ransom to unlock the systems they had disabled through a cyberattack.

Such hacks won’t be the last ones mounted on a healthcare or pharmaceutical organisation during one of the worst crises to affect the world.

In June 2021 alone, an underground criminal forum monitored by IntSights, a Rapid7 company, put up a database of COVID-19 vaccination records of nearly 7.4 million Italians for sale. A forum user also claimed to have maintained access to the data source.
