Denmark data breach exposes records of 8.8 million people
Original: Privacy & security, Mon, Oct 5: • Denmark Data Breach Exposes 8.8M People's Personal Data https://www. cpr.dk/cpr-nyt/ny
Denmark's CPR system, the national civil registration authority, has reported extensive unauthorized access to citizens' CPR personal data, affecting roughly 8.8 million people — nearly the entire population. The announcement, dated October 5, details a major breach of one of the country's core public registries. Details on how the access occurred and what data was taken remain limited as the investigation continues.
Why now: A breach touching nearly every Danish resident raises immediate concern over national identity data security.
