Denmark faces cyber breach affecting millions
Denmark experienced a widespread security breach through which unauthorized access was gained to the data of approximately 8.1 million individuals registered in the Central Population Register ("CPR system"). The government clarified that the attackers exploited the privileges of a private company illegally to access the registry, leading to the company being banned from the system and investigations being launched to identify those responsible for the breach. The CPR system is a fundamental part of Denmark's digital infrastructure, used by government institutions, banks, and healthcare services, even though the actual population is around 6 million. The database, however, contains records of more than 11 million people, including deceased individuals and former residents.
