Hacker offers terms to authorities after AI-driven data breach

The suspected hacker behind the theft of 8.7 million personal identification numbers has offered to cooperate with the police, provided certain conditions are met. The breach of the CPR registry used artificial intelligence to compromise data, an event the editor of Politiken warns is a first step toward a more dystopian future.

Aarhus University is reportedly correcting a calculation error in nitrogen regulations that an analyst is calling a major blunder. The minister in charge is taking the mistake seriously, following the discovery of the error in the math behind environmental policy.

The government is implementing unusual measures to fix problems with public case handlers. Elsewhere, police in Odense have cordoned off a crime scene after a stabbing left one man in a life-threatening condition.
