The source code is the least of it! From the article: > citizen PII databases and electronic signing documents were also collected but are being sold separately

Yeah the source code isn't really such a big deal aside from helping to find vulnerabilities. The PII is a real disgrace.

I wonder if the focus on source code makes Swedish news slower to jump on this. I haven't seen it in domestic news yet. (Haven't looked too wide though)

Does anyone know if there is the source code for the Swedish Armed Forces - Team Test [1] in the leak? It was a really fun collaborative flash-style game that got popular in my circle of friends for some reason back then.

I saw it on SVT a few hours ago. DN and Expressen have also reported. The details about what exactly it is that got leaked are unclear (some report it's basically the code and certs responsible for BankID SSO) but this is certainly being reported domestically.

In Aftonbladet comments from CGI they seem to think that no production related data has been leaked:

Man, you've got to be a real low-life to sell all of that.

You've got to be a real low-life to collect all of that and put it in a database that is not air-gapped.
