Aesou :
We have a similar number system in Norway but it's never been used as any kind of authentication, just identification. The number is simply just there to have a unique identifier for each person (since names are not necessarily unique). As far as I know Denmark is quite similar, so this security breach is likely more an issue about technical security, i.e. fear of DDOS attacks and such rather than a fear of what the numbers can be used for.

As a Dane, this was explained much better, than any Danish media outlet.

Chaotic Alex :
It’s astonishing that in this day and age we still treat single string of numbers (like SSN in US, CPR in Denmark or PESEL in Poland) as sufficient form of identification and confirmation of someone’s identity.

Part of the problem is that government institutions have a frame of sallary decided from high up. These sallaries are quite low compared to similar private jobs. The effect is that many high skilled people are not working in these institutions

this is going to sound bad, but it made me feel grateful for having a stalker 15 years ago, cause my name and adress is protected.

In Sweden you can look up people’s CPR online for free. You can’t really do much with just the CPR number nowadays.

The fact that there is no alert system that a company can pull over a million requests per day is just plain stupid

it should be criminal for government apps not have alerting functionality. It's very basic security to be altered by such malicious activity near real time

We have them in Romania too, they're called CNP (Cod Numeric Personal). You need your CNP for everything: bank account, tenancy agreement, contracts, doctor appointments, all sorts of appointments, et cetera.

honestly you can't really use that data for much. So we don't care much about this here in Denmark. But the press loves this and the government can now call for more control
