Claus Due wrote that a CPR leak allegedly originated from a company in Funen, where an employee had been hacked. He claimed that the employee's password was 123456 and that there was no two-factor authentication. Due pointed out that the company marketed itself with "top secure data protection," but according to him, apparently did not have sufficient requirements for passwords or monitoring of access. He assessed that the company would be finished when its name became known, a bill arrived, or a fine was issued – or if all three things happened. #datasikkerhed #hack #cybersikkerhed (translated)

Klaus Riskær Pedersen criticized the former and current government for the handling of the CPR register. He wrote that systematic data collection could have taken place without being stopped by the security systems and called it a political scandal that required immediate accountability. Pedersen claimed that the problems were due to Minister of Interior and Housing Christian Rabjerg Madsen awarding the operation of the CPR system to the American company DXC Technology in 2022. He also criticized former Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, stating that the tender in 2021 was carried out under the GPA agreement, which allowed American companies to bid. According to Pedersen, the agreement allowed for the exclusion of foreign bidders on grounds of security and vital national interests, and he believed that the CPR register, which he described as critical infrastructure, should not have been entrusted to a foreign company. He placed the responsibility for the lack of control systems on the Agency for Digitization and believed that the government's leadership bore political accountability for the appointments. He wrote that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had not made the decision herself but had appointed a political leadership that he considered lacking in professionalism and experience. He also claimed that the government had been so preoccupied with the war in Europe by the end of 2022 that it had not concerned itself with the CPR system. Furthermore, Pedersen criticized that the Parliament, in his opinion, would choose Henrik Frandsen from the Moderates as chairman, even though Frandsen had only served in Parliament for four years. He described Frandsen as unworthy of the position and accused him of serious moral shortcomings. Pedersen wrote that all Danish citizens must remain vigilant until those responsible figured out whether new CPR numbers were necessary, suggesting that Russia would be to blame. He alleged that businesses' access to the register had been shut down, causing chaos, and that the lack of identity verification could make it difficult for public institutions to hire educators. He compared the situation to previous problems in the police's data systems. #Inkompetence #Politik #Danmark (translated)
