Danish population register hacked, data of nearly all citizens stolen

Original: denemarken

Hackers have breached Denmark's national population register, making off with names, addresses and personal ID numbers of almost the entire Danish population. The breach is one of the largest data leaks in Danish history and raises serious questions about the security of centralised government databases. In the Netherlands and elsewhere, the story is drawing attention as a warning about how vulnerable national citizen registries can be to cyberattacks.

Why now: A massive breach of a national citizen database affects nearly the whole population of Denmark and alarms people across Europe about government data security.
