Criminal probe underway in JAMCOVID application breach

The Government has initiated a criminal investigation into an apparent breach of the JAMCOVID application. This was announced in a statement issued by the Ministry of National Security Thursday evening and came mere hours after the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) had called for a proper probe into the matter. “When a security vulnerability is identified in respect of a government system, the government has a duty to investigate and rectify it,” the statement said. It added that: “Under Jamaican law, we also have a duty to ensure that any unauthorised access to data is investigated and prosecuted. Under section 3 of the Cybercrimes Act, ‘any person who knowingly obtains, for himself or another person, unauthorised access to any programme or data held in a computer commits an offence’”.
