Denmark Data Breach Exposes 8.8 Million People's Records

Original: Denmark Data Breach Exposes 8.8M People's Personal Data

Denmark's CPR register, which holds personal identification data on Danish residents, suffered unauthorized access affecting 8.8 million people — more than the country's entire population. The Central Person Register authority announced the incident on its website, though details on who accessed the data and how remain limited. It is one of the largest breaches in Danish history, touching nearly every resident and raising questions about data security.

Why now: Nearly all of Denmark's population was affected, and the perpetrator and method are not yet clear.
