MitID

But they're also like a catch-22 with the EU data rules as well.

But it also means that knowing someone's CPR number alone does not automatically affect your, say, your bank account or your MIT ID.

Actually,

what it demonstrates is that you need to have other proofs of identity and the safer system would be the MIT ID.

So most of the institutions or companies that just use the CPR now need to see how they can implement this second check and to make sure that they are speaking to the

person that they say they're speaking for.

Crossing over to Europe, the Danish government is urging businesses and public agencies to immediately stop using CPR numbers as proof of identity after a major breach.

Unauthorized actors abused a third party's legitimate access to harvest records on eight point eight million people, prompting officials to advise organizations to switch to secure MitID logins or one-time verification codes instead.

In the Netherlands, the Dutch House of Representatives has passed legislation requiring commercial sex ad websites to verify the identity and age of all advertisers using government IDs and same-day facial photos.

Platforms will have to run a fresh photo check every time an ad is placed or edited, keeping logs for two years to help combat human trafficking.

It's a risk, and I mean, we have it already.

If, if MitID, so sort of the ele-

Yeah

... electric, uh, verification thing in Denmark, if that's not working, sometimes, you know, it's, it's, it's offline, then we cannot do anything.

Um, but, but no, it was, now I'm back because I had some issues with, you know, being the second most digitized country in the world.

Everything is digitized.

Taking the train, using the, uh, digital verification MitID, uh, app is difficult.

There are workarounds, but it gave me some really great insights having five, six weeks on a Nokia into how are my elderly patients being able to navigate the healthcare system, which is of course also very digitalized.
