Denmark Data Breach Exposes 8.8 Million People's Personal Data
Original: Denmark data breach exposes 8.8M people's personal data
Denmark's CPR register, which holds citizens' personal ID information, has suffered unauthorized access affecting roughly 8.8 million people — more than the country's entire population, indicating data on deceased residents was also exposed. The Danish Civil Registration System confirmed the breach and is investigating its scope. The incident is drawing major attention given the sensitivity of CPR numbers and the near-total exposure of the population's personal data.
Why now: A breach of a national ID register affecting virtually all Danish residents is an unusually severe and newsworthy data security incident.
