Italy is also facing a massive staffing shortage, as many citizens choose to stay on government assistance rather than returning to work after the COVID pandemic. The third week of July 2021, there were still Italians waiting for their injections, and fearing legislation that could make it impossible to work, eat, shop and even leave the house without a "green pass" confirming that you are vaccinated. Rome is quiet this year, with the streets relatively empty of tourists, and many hotels sitting empty of both guests and staff for months.
At a press conference on Monday, D'Amato said the attack was "the most serious cyber-attack ever carried out on an Italian public administration." On Monday August, 2nd, Lazio regional health councilor Alessio D'Amato announced that, "The technicians are working to safely reactivate the new bookings and no data has been stolen," D'Amato said in a post on the region's official Facebook page. This is in keeping with ransomware statistics, which indicate a 350% growth in ransomware since 2018, when the world experienced roughly 204 million ransomware attacks. While the 500,000 Italians who have already booked their vaccine will be able to keep their appointments, new appointments might be on hold until the attack is over. The entire country of Italy has fallen victim to a recent cyber-attack on their COVID vaccine booking system.
