Agency issues safety guide following Danish CPR data breach

Denmark's Agency for Society Security has issued a new safety guide.

It follows last month's hacking of the Danish CPR register.

The advice targets citizens who need extra personal protection.

This includes public figures and people who faced harassment before.

The agency suggests several practical safety measures for exposed residents.

You can request official name and address protection in Denmark.

You can also choose to hide your telephone number.

The guidance highlights extra caution on social media platforms.

Users should consider setting up private profiles for small groups.

The agency advises against sharing personal information online.

The full guide is available on the agency website.

Information comes from Danish broadcaster DR.
