The Jamaica Observer posted an article on February 19, 2021, about the government launching a criminal into the JAMCOVID breach. Below are some key highlights:
- The Government has started a criminal investigation into the data breach of its JAMCOVID-19 application, even as it reiterated confidence in the digital platform, insisting that it has served the Administration well in its management of the novel coronavirus pandemic
- The gravity of the breach was highlighted by cybersecurity and web hosting expert Trevor Forrest, who argued that the Government could find itself in a legal pickle, under European law
- Our total revenue amounts to our consolidated fund and that number is not small
- On Wednesday, the Government said that a security vulnerability associated with the file storage service on the JAMCOVID-19 app discovered that day had been rectified
