Let's see that breach-response process kick-in that they built into the system as part of their Data Protection by Design and by Default practices. [We know they don't have one. Ed.]
Another portion from the article:

"The CPR system is a cornerstone of Denmark’s highly digitised public sector. Every resident is assigned a unique 10-digit CPR number that is widely used to identify individuals when dealing with government agencies, banks and healthcare providers. While Denmark has a population of about six million, the register contains records on roughly 11 million people, including those who have died or moved abroad."

The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

TL:DW: The EU is proposing laws that will (*also retroactively*) require any online game to have rigorous age verification and present massive fines to any developers who do not comply. Their definition of "online" is incredibly vague and could include *any games sold on a digital store front.*

"If they want my data, they can pay for it!" Thomas Ryberg, Professor of Digital Learning at Aalborg University shares his journey of leaving big tech: ✅ He switched to Tuta Mail ❤️ ✅ Replaced Twitter with Mastodon ✅ Doesn't use Meta products & More! Read his story😍 👉 tuta.com/blog/intervi...
screenshot of a LinkedIn post that Thomas Ryberg posted, "The slow journey towards a more sustainable digital ecology - latest steps: Tutamail

Like many others, I am slowly trying to filter myself out of digital ecologies that are not sustainable. I'm not so fond of the vocabulary about Big Tech or the Tech giants, because I think it blurs the fact that it's the business models and the underlying economic logic that are the problem. This also means, for example, that we have an unsustainable agriculture and that we make a large number of choices that may provide a short-term economic gain, but in the long run are not very sustainable.

I'd like to move towards technologies that are open-source, ad-free, that don't collect data (monitor) to increase profit, or use design devices that unnecessarily try to maximize usage (again to maximize profit), etc.

So now I've created a Tuta email and want to see if I can't start using it to phase out my use of Google's services (have been using duckduckgo as a search service for a long time) and also switched from Twitter to Mastodon - Bluesky is certainly more going forward, but is dependent on investors who have to show a profit, So it's probably a long time before it will suffer from the same problems. I left Facebook in 2016 and have not been on any of Meta's services (instagram, whatsapp etc.).

I have an old computer, which I have to see if I can revive it with a Linux installation. There are lots of services I still depend on, e.g. through work (Teams, Co-pilot, Office365, etc.), and it's not easy to change that (but it's actually something that the Danish universities should really start looking at). Will probably need some help with Linux, so if anyone knows of Linux parties in the Aalborg area, please give a hint.

It's going to be a slow movement, and you just have to admit that it's hard to do it all at once. Slowly but steady!"
