Two eagle-eyed Irish citizens have denied scammers a golden phishing opportunity after spotting a typo in the URL for Ireland’s new Covid-19 recovery certificate portal and registering the correctly spelled domain.
Launched on Friday (July 23), the new service invites Irish citizens who have recovered from Covid-19 in the past six months to apply for a ‘Digital Covid Cert’ by completing an online form.
However, the original official domain – irishcovidcertifcateportal.org – was missing the second ‘i’ from the word ‘certificate’.
