The governor of the region including Italy's capital, Rome, is pledging that a powerful hacking intrusion, into its second day, won't interrupt COVID-19 vaccinationsROME -- The governor of the area including Italy’s capital, Rome, sought on Monday to assure residents that a powerful hacking intrusion into the region's website, into its second day, won’t interrupt COVID-19 vaccinations. But until the hacking is resolved, residents of the region won’t be able to sign up via the region’s website, to receive the vaccine. He said that a second hacking attempt, launched about two hours after the first one shortly after midnight Sunday, was successfully fought off. The hacking “won't in any way slow down the vaccination process,'” Zingaretti pledged. Some 70% of Lazio residents who are 12 or over and eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are fully vaccinated.
