🇩🇰 🔐 A person claiming responsibility for a data breach involving Denmark’s Central Register of Persons (CPR) says they accessed the system through an account belonging to an IT company that used the password “123456.” Danish newspaper Politiken reported that at least three accounts at the company, including an administrator account, were protected by the same password. The individual said they had no intention of selling or leaking the information. The breach exposed the names, addresses and personal identification numbers of approximately 8.8 million people, according to Danish broadcaster DR. The Ministry of Research, Education and Digitalization said the incident involved the misuse of a Danish company’s authorized access to the register. Authorities have suspended the company’s access and notified the Danish Data Protection Agency. The ministry said people registered for name and address protection were not affected by the unauthorized access. Research, Education and Digitalization Minister Christina Egelund urged people to remain vigilant and warned them not to disclose passwords or other confidential information in response to phone calls, emails, or other inquiries, even if the person contacting them knows their name, address, or CPR number. The CPR system contains about 11 million registered people, including deceased people and Danish citizens who have moved abroad.
US President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday over strikes on Russian oil refineries, arguing that the attacks were driving up global energy prices. "I think that's a disgrace. There's plenty of other targets," Trump said in an interview with Newsmax, criticizing attacks on facilities producing diesel fuel. "When you shoot at diesel refineries where you make, you know, diesel oil and we need that, and the world needs that, then he's not doing a good service for the world," he added. Speaking on Newsmax's "Finnerty" program from the White House, Trump also questioned Zelenskyy's leadership and willingness to negotiate an end to the war. "Zelenskyy is not a good guy for us to deal with," Trump said. "He doesn't want to settle. He says he wants to settle, but he doesn't. No, I'm not a big fan of Zelenskyy," he added. Asked about a proposed two-month pause to allow Ukraine to hold elections, Trump responded: "I think you need an election." He also questioned whether Ukrainians were satisfied with their leadership amid continued Russian attacks on residential buildings. Trump cited an interview with a Ukrainian woman who blamed Zelenskyy for the country's suffering and military losses, quoting her as saying: "Zelensky has destroyed our country." The US president also argued that Russia's larger population gave Moscow a significant manpower advantage over Ukraine. He said Russia could sustain heavy military losses while Ukraine lacked comparable manpower. Trump acknowledged that Ukraine had received advanced US military equipment, describing it as the "best equipment in the world."
