The website is now down for maintenance.

US journalist Zack Whittaker of TechCrunch revealed a few minutes ago that he had "informed Amber Group of a third JamCOVID security lapse involving more than 500,000 exposed quarantine orders for travellers to Jamaica."

Last week, it was revealed that thousands of records were left exposed on the site.

The government has since said plans are being accelerated to boost Jamaica's cybersecurity.
