https://www.voicemedia.global/article/sweden-s-digital-id-system-hacked-public-s-data-sold-on-dark-webApparently a Russian repeater site, but the content looks real. I should have posted these instead? but they back up the story.

åh fan
A hacker group calling itself ByteToBreach has reportedly dumped sensitive source code tied to Sweden’s national digital identity system.
The group claims it breached CGI’s Swedish division and accessed code connected to the nation’s digital identity system, called BankID.
BankID is the single authentication system used by millions of Swedes for banking, taxes, government services, and digital signatures.
According to reports, the leaked material includes source code, passwords, and encryption keys tied to systems supporting BankID logins for the Swedish Tax Agency. BankID is not a niche tool as it serves as the backbone of Sweden’s digital infrastructure.

Chances of it happening here?
No need. Musk already has every password, code and key for government systems.
