Dominican Republic hackers steal US$2.7M in welfare cards

Posted on March 14, 2022 by Dissent

DT reports:

Santo Domingo.- Tens of thousands of beneficiaries of the government aid social program of the Presidency of the Republic, Supérate, have not received their respective subsidies due to the cloning of at least 30,000 ID cards worth US$2.7 million in the southern region and the province Santo Domingo during the month of February.

This was confirmed by Gloria Reyes, the general director of the Supérate program to Diario Libre, noting that so far some 30,000 plan cards that had been supplanted have been replaced and returned to the plan’s beneficiaries and the process continues.
