GoKawiilDanish CPR registry breach exposes data of 8.8 million citizens
Denmark's Central Person Register (CPR) confirmed that unauthorized parties exploited a private company's legitimate access to the system to obtain names, addresses, CPR numbers and other personal data belonging to roughly 8.8 million registered citizens. Records of citizens who had opted for name and address protection were not affected. Authorities have cut off the company's access, reported the incident to the Danish Data Protection Agency, and police are investigating alongside other relevant agencies.
