Hackers breach Danish CPR system, steal data of 8.8M individuals

Attackers compromised a company with legitimate access to Denmark's Civil Registration System (CPR), exfiltrating personal data of 8.8 million people—more than the current population. The breach includes records of deceased individuals, indicating a systemic compromise of national identity infrastructure. The full scope and downstream use of the data remain unclear, but the incident signals a significant state-level or sophisticated criminal cyber operation targeting a core government registry.
