Since then, the company's access to the system has been blocked during a police investigation, and authorities say it is too early to say who is behind the incident.

“This is an extremely serious incident,” said Digital Affairs Minister Christina Egelund. It ordered a comprehensive security review of the CPR system and urged Danish citizens to be vigilant about suspicious phone calls and emails.

It is noted that the CPR system is the cornerstone of Denmark's highly digitalized public sector. Each resident of the country has a unique 10-digit CPR number, which is widely used to identify a person when interacting with government agencies, banks and medical institutions. Although the population of Denmark is about 6 million people, the register contains data on approximately 11 million people, including those who died or went abroad.

Details

The system administration first detected anomalous activity on October 2, and over the weekend found that unauthorized searches were carried out in September.

As Ukrinform reported, in the Netherlands, as a result of a large-scale data leak of the telecommunications provider Odido, the personal data of four ministers, as well as other persons under state protection, appeared on the Internet.

Context

On Monday, the government said the leak came after unidentified individuals improperly took advantage of a private Danish company's legitimate access to the Central Register of Individuals (known as CPR).
