„123456”, parola cu care hackerii au accesat datele a 8,8 milioane de oameni din Danemarca

Denmark is investigating unauthorized access to its central population register, exposing data of 8.8 million individuals. The breach was linked to weak passwords used by the technology firm Pays ApS, which had legal access to the register. The incident was discovered when the administration attempted to bill the firm for excessive queries. Authorities are assessing the security measures in place and the potential for targeted fraud using the exposed data. The Minister of Digitalization has called for a thorough review of the register's security protocols, while citizens are advised to protect their personal information.
