10. Denmark
Breach Density: 29
Accounts Breached Per Day: 1,867
Denmark has amped up its security efforts in recent years as data breaches within the country grew, making it the lowest ranking on the top 10 list. The Danish government introduced the National Strategy for Cyber and Information Security 2022-2024 to educate its residents, businesses, and authorities on how to protect themselves against data breaches and to protect critical government ICT systems.
However, Denmark was still hit by hackers who disrupted access to its central bank and seven private banks in January. The security breach targeted servers using distributed denials of service (DDoS) which allows the hackers to knock them offline, forcing the banks to briefly restrict access to their websites for several hours.
