隨著對新冠疫苗的需求日益高漲,人們因為遲遲無法接種疫苗而感到不滿,因此偽造疫苗接種卡的市場逐漸壯大。
Check Point Research新發布的一份報告稱,暗網上偽造新冠疫苗接種證明的數量激增。用戶把自己的個人信息和200美元發送給黑客,然后就能夠收到一張看起來與官方證明毫無差別的疫苗接種卡。
新冠檢測陰性證明在游客當中也大有市場,甚至還有“買二贈一”的優惠。人們只要花費25美元,就可以在30分鐘內拿到這些偽造的結果。
Check Point稱,自今年1月以來,偽造疫苗接種證明文件的廣告宣傳增加了300%。更令人擔憂的是,假冒新冠疫苗的市場越來越大。
通過搜索引擎無法搜索到暗網,但黑客和其他無所事事的網民在暗網上聚集,從事著交易盜竊的信用卡卡號、販賣毒品和購買新型惡意軟件等各種勾當。
研究人員稱,暗網上有關疫苗的廣告超過1,200條,假冒的牛津(Oxford)-阿斯利康(AstraZeneca)疫苗和中國國藥集團疫苗的售價為500美元,假冒強生(Johnson & Johnson)疫苗的售價為600美元。廣告中宣傳的俄羅斯Sputnik疫苗的售價也是600美元。有黑客每一劑疫苗收費甚至高達1,000美元。
Check Point的產品漏洞研究負責人奧迪德·瓦努努在一份聲明中稱:“暗網上與疫苗有關的活動日益猖獗。我們在三個月前開始在暗網上研究這個問題時,還沒有出現這種狀況……網絡犯罪分子試圖利用公眾對于接種疫苗或避免接種疫苗的興趣。人們必須清楚,試圖通過非官方途徑獲得疫苗、疫苗接種卡或新冠檢測陰性證明存在極高的風險,因為黑客可能更感興趣的是如何利用你的信息和個人身份。”
研究人員稱,他們預計未來幾個月,與偽造證明文件和假冒疫苗有關的活動會繼續增加。他們還警告民眾不要把疫苗接種卡或陰性檢測結果發布到網上,因為這些資料可能會流入暗網。(財富中文網)

As demand for COVID-19 vaccines increases and people become frustrated with delays in getting their shots, there’s a growing market for forged vaccination cards.
A new report from Check Point Research says there has been a surge in fake vaccination certificates online, via the darknet. Users send their details and $200 to hackers and, in return, receive an official-looking vaccination card.
There’s also a strong market for negative COVID-19 tests among travelers, including a “buy two, get the third for free” deal. Those falsified results can be purchased for $25 in less than 30 minutes.
Check Point says advertisements for fake vaccination documentation are up 300% since January. More worrisome, there’s also a growing market for counterfeit coronavirus vaccines.
The darknet isn’t visible to search engines, but hackers and other online ne’er-do-wells gather there to do everything from exchange stolen credit card numbers, sell drugs, and shop new malware.
Researchers say they saw over 1,200 advertisements for vaccines on the darknet, with counterfeit versions of the Oxford-AstraZeneca and Chinese Sinopharm shots selling for $500 and counterfeit Johnson & Johnson selling for $600. The Russian Sputnik vaccine is also advertised for $600. Some hackers were charging as much as $1,000 per dose.
“The darknet is booming with activity related to the vaccines,” said Oded Vanunu, Check Point’s head of products vulnerability research, in a statement. “This wasn’t the case when we first started to study the darknet around this topic three months ago…Cybercriminals are looking to capitalize on the public’s interest to both get the vaccine or avoid the vaccine. It’s imperative for people to understand that attempting to obtain a vaccine, a vaccination card, or negative COVID-19 by unofficial means is extremely risky, as hackers are more interested in your information and identity for exploitation.”
Researchers say they expect activity surrounding forged documents and counterfeit vaccines to increase in the coming months—and warn people not to post their vaccine cards or negative COVID-19 test results online, as those are making their way onto the darknet.
