Denmark's national registry hacked, compromising millions of people's data
Hackers gained access to personal information for about 8.8 million registered people in Denmark, including names, addresses, and social security numbers. On Monday, the nation's digital affairs ministry indicated that a local company's login credentials were the means by which the breach occurred. The 8.8 million figure is larger than Denmark's population because it includes people who have died or moved abroad.
