The Central Register of Persons (CPR) exposed names, addresses and CPR numbers for about 8.8 million registered people after unauthorized access reached the database. The exposure creates a large-scale identity and privacy risk because the CPR holds core population records for Denmark. The breach occurred in September and was disclosed on October 5 after irregular behavior was detected.
