One of the first hacker cases in Denmark led to the creation of DKCERT: the attack by Jub Jub Bird and Sprocket.

Armed with a couple of Amiga computers and a PC, these two young men hacked into the network of UNI-C in 1989. UNI-C was the national IT centre for research and education and operated a national Ethernet-based network.

The hackers used modems to call computers at UNI-C. By guessing passwords they managed to get access to the network and its computers.

Every spring DKCERT publishes a trend report summarizing the main security trends of the previous year. The reports are in Danish.

All reports are in the PDF format.

DKCERT has been authorized by the CERT Division of Carnegie Mellon University to use the CERT brand.

DKCERT is a full member of FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams).
