Original: Hackers steal 8 million citizens' records from Danish government database https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/05/hackers-stea
Hackers have stolen records belonging to 8 million citizens from a Danish government database, in one of the largest data breaches in the country's history. The theft affects a substantial share of Denmark's population, and the breach is drawing attention to the security of government-held personal data.
Why now: A major government data breach affecting most of Denmark's population is inherently newsworthy and alarming
