“It is a message of support given to Ukraine like other messages of support in the last few hours (flag during the PR speech), indicates the cabinet of the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran. The flag will be displayed until tonight on the app. There has been no hacking of the TousAntiCovid application which works and which you can continue to use normally.
It is therefore not a cyberattack as we can read on social networks, where some Internet users, and even elected officials, wonder about this appearance on the “sly” of the flag. Vaccination passes are not deactivated.
“Either the government is having fun deactivating the health passes without warning in support of Ukraine – an operation with dubious taste – or (Russian?) hackers have infiltrated an app that lists health data, in defiance of our digital sovereignty”tweeted deputy LR Julien Aubert.
I read in the comments that the appearance of in the Tousanticovid app could be a sign of support, a separate subject from Bluetooth deactivation. All very nice, but a sanitary application is not the Google bar or a place of com. Mix of genres. pic.twitter.com/iOxk4hBtLQ
