The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) has announced that there has been a security breach involving one of its suppliers, which may have resulted in unauthorized access to personal data about children who have sent suggestions to the children’s programming service, DR Ultra. In a communication directed at the parents, which has been viewed by Ritzau, DR confirmed that their supplier has experienced a security incident leading to this breach of personal data security.

The notification did not specify what type of information the children had sent to DR Ultra or when the breach occurred. However, DR assured parents that they are in close communication with the supplier and that access to the data has been secured. While there was confirmed unauthorized access to the information, DR stated that there is no evidence that the data has been accessed or used inappropriately.

Currently, the extent of the data breach remains uncertain as DR has not disclosed how many individuals might be affected or whether all impacted parents have been notified. Ritzau has reached out for further comments from DR to clarify the situation and provide more details about the incident.
