A South Australian senator says the nation's COVID-19 "proof of vaccination" certificates can be easily forged by anti-vaxxers and he has made a fake one to prove it.Senator Patrick made a "15-minute forgery" of a COVID-19 vaccine certificate after receiving his genuine oneHe says a QR code or other simple validation process could resolve the issue
Trade in counterfeit certificates and COVID-19 test results is emerging overseas, with Europol issuing a warning in February that fraudsters had been caught selling counterfeit documents in the UK for up to $200.through the MyGov website, which lists their name, age and what type of vaccination they have received.
Lol, this guy.
What about sub-cutaneous national ID chips in your wrist that..... oh... wait....
Cool. Let’s fix the system.
The Feds will not care....BUT they should
Better he raise the issue instead of being a Tit, I'm sure that there is an easy fix. Showing his true character 🤡
😂😂😂
The worst part is I have been trying multiple times with calls to MyGov, Medicare & ATO to fix a problem. I cannot link MyGov to Medicare even when the name is completely the same in each of the department!!
'Right now, the certificates aren't in use,' he said. At some stage, they will be connected to health measures and at that point, that they will have some value.' Your headline is garbage. He merely demonstrated it has the same issues as any ID system and admits just as much.
And misses out the facts as always or just does a shoddy journalism again here. The syatem being asked happens to be in place!
I love that the more secure system being used in the UK was invented by an AUSTRALIAN company! 🤭
Headline should read: 'Senator pays intern with photoshop skills to fake documents'
Prosecute him.
. Which consultancy won the MILLIONS OF DOLLARS contract to build the vax passport system that a crusty senator can forge? Are they a firm in a big Sydney tower? Are they a big political donor? Are the partners big political donors?
I think that's called fraud, over to you AFP. karenandrewsmp ScottMorrisonMP SkyNewsAust
Maybe a tattoo on the arm would work better.
Seriously who is doing the IT for the government
Certificate? I never got a Certificate
From the people who brought you the covid safe app.
Gees already 😳🙄
Can he forge antibodies too ?
well of he's claiming something that is untrue ie a forgery , arrest him , charge him and send him to jail .
It’s all broken!!! Cloth masks have been PROVEN not to work!!!! Vaccines don’t totally work!!!!!
He don’t have the brains to do that.
People have forged; drivers licences, birth certs and passports, it doesn't mean we just gave up on having these.
I haven’t downloaded my vac’ certificate yet but I assumed it would have some digital “fingerprint” to prove it was genuine. Now to find out it’s literally worthless as a security measure reinforces my faith in the government organisations to continually fuck everything up. 🤦🏾
Cone on. You're giving Anti-vaxers way too much credit. They're not clever enough to work out how to forge a certificate.
Thing you can save as a PDF onto your computer and can be printed out can be modified! OMG this is clearly the news of the decade.
Great. Now our certificates will be worthless for travellers
Thank you senator. Great pick up and hopefully by the time proof is required, something more secure is in place.
