PostePay down: ERR-00, what’s going on

Since 19:00 today , November 5, boom of reports on social for inefficiencies to the PostePay app. Many users of the Poste Italiane payment app can’t connect and receive the error “ERR-00”.

As of 7 pm today, November 5, a boom of reports on social networks for inefficiencies in the PostePay app. Many users of the Poste Italiane payment app are unable to connect and receive the error “ERR-00”. The number of reports literally jumped in just an hour, a sign that this is a widespread malfunction.

The map of reports, plotted by DownDetector, unlike other similar previous cases is virtually uniform throughout the country. It would be, therefore, a real general down of the service. To confirm this, there are also some messages from users who cannot even access the website to make movements: the system asks for the ID from the app, but the app does not work. There don’t seem to be any problems instead, at least at the moment, with PostePay card payments.

The black period of Poste Italiane

It’s not a good period at all for Poste Italiane and its services. On September 28 there was a big down of Poste Mobile, for which the operator apologized to customers by giving away 100 GB of traffic for a month. Just two weeks later there was another Poste Mobile down on October 12.

Yesterday, November 4, due to the overload caused by the click day of the Bike and Scooter Bonus, the PosteID SPID went down. Today, November 5, the Computer Emergency Response Team of the Digital Italy Agency has issued a phishing alert about a new campaign aimed at stealing the SPID credentials of thousands of Italian citizens.
