Denmark CPR breach exposes data of 8.8 million people
Original: Denmark Central Person Register (CPR) Breach: Cyberattack Exposes Data of 8.8 Million via Company Account in 2026
Denmark's Central Person Register has reportedly been hit by a cyberattack that exposed the personal data of around 8.8 million people, allegedly carried out through a compromised company account. The register holds information on virtually the entire Danish population, so the incident raises serious concerns about the security of national identity infrastructure. Details about the attackers, the method of entry and what data was taken remain limited.
Why now: A breach of Denmark's national civil registry affecting nearly the whole population is a major cybersecurity story with potentially severe privacy consequences.
