Denmark Investigates CPR Data Breach Affecting 8.8 Million People

Danish authorities have opened an investigation into a data breach involving the CPR personal identity registry, which affects roughly 8.8 million people — nearly the entire population of Denmark. The breach involves the central register holding citizens' personal identification numbers. Details about how the data was exposed and who is responsible have not yet been made public as the inquiry continues.
