EDIT -- See the response by Svips. It gives a better overview.
In Denmark(and Scandinavia) we have a company called Nets who is a provider for credit card and banking transaction services. They thus have a lot of personal information on everybody
There was a highly ranked entrusted person within Nets who leaked personal information from a database containing banking transactions to the magazine "Se & Hør". This magazine is probably something like "The Sun" in Britain. I'm not entirely sure about the comparison, but I think it's about the same.
Anyways, the person who leaked the information provided information about the location of several celebrities and the royal family to a journalist within the magazine. This allowed the paper to locate people when they were traveling or on honeymoon. After looking at the information the person could, due to his high ranking, delete all traces of having looked at the information.
- seivan 12y agoNets operates in Singapore as well. I kept using them instead of regular debit cards there. Is the same company?

- marvin 12y agoHuh. So basically this means that every Norwagian and Dane's credit & debit card usage has been up for sale to the highest bidder since 2008 at least. And since Nets operates out of Singapore, the authorities don't have a say in it. I truly hope this stirs up a major shitstorm, I am very much not okay with this.
- Svip 12y agoYou are mistaken. Nets does not operate out of Singapore.[0] That is a different Nets.[1] They are unrelated.
