Denmark's national person registry (CPR) has disclosed unauthorized access to citizens' CPR personal data, affecting roughly 8.8 million people — nearly the entire population. The announcement was published on the official CPR website. The scale of the breach makes it one of the most serious data security incidents in the country's history.
Why now: A breach touching almost the entire Danish population via the national registry is an unusually severe data security incident.
