Over one million Swedes' personal data was included in the data leak from Miljödata AB, which was recently leaked at Darknet.This since the company, which sells IT systems for work environment information, was hacked and subjected to extortion by a criminal group. Now Region Skåne, one of several affected regions, confirms that people with protected personal data are with the leak. "Yes, and it is very unfortunate and serious," says Vinko Fihn Mikulic, Chief of Staff at the Personnel Department at Region Skåne to DN. Already this weekend, TECHENPRENPER JENS NYLANDER said he had analyzed the leaked information and found protected personal data, but this was then not confirmed by those affected. - We still analyze the material but have so far discovered over 100 individuals in the material that have protected data today. How old are the information? - The leak as a whole includes current and former employees in Region Skåne since 2005. What are you doing now? - We continue to go through all the data and in parallel contact those affected by this, to offer advice and support, says Vinko Fihn Mikulic. Previous information from the region has been the opposite - no person with protected information would have been included, reported SVT Skåne on 9 September. The database contains information about name, address, e-mail, telephone number, age, gender and social security number.
