123456' password used in massive Danish CPR data breach
Summary
The Copenhagen Post reports a Denmark CPR data breach where 8.8 million CPR numbers were exposed after attackers gained access via a small private company. The breach involved at least three Pays accounts using the weak password '123456', described by a professor as having 'hopeless' security. Authorities warn that CPR verification must move beyond CPR numbers and are launching security reviews, with millions of Danes receiving credit warnings.
