Plus identity theft to help spies assume a false identity when gathering information. And of course: Selling the health records to insurers in order to allow them to set prices for prospective customers. I'm sure insurance companies would pay nicely for this.

I'm not Danish, but...

1. Denmark does not have a private health insurance market.

2. Any company even considering about doing this would be in a huge pot of boiling water, if the public, or the police got wind of it.

Any above-board business would not want to touch lost/stolen health data with a ten-foot pole. In addition to the legalities of this, this opens a huge liability hole, in terms of keeping it secure.
