Ministry for Economic Affairs and the Interior Data Breach (2014)

The social security numbers of all Danes on the so-called Robinson List, a list of individuals who have opted out of receiving advertisements in the post, were released due to an error within the ministry. Carsten Grage, an official with the national CPR registry, confirmed to Brsen that there has been an incident. According to Grage, a quarterly data file that normally only contains individuals names and addresses, this time also included their CPR numbers.
