Radio Sweden Weekly: Inside Sweden’s mega data heist — a silver platter for fraudsters?

Personal details for over a million people have been dumped on the dark web after an attack on a public-sector HR system. We break down what was stolen, why concentrated data supercharges scams, and what warning signs to watch for.

Also this week: why the government plans to add chickenpox shots to the national child vaccination program from 2027 — and how officials weighed benefits, risks and costs. We explain what a VMA (Important Public Announcement) is, how alerts reach you via SR’s platforms, and what to do when one is issued. Plus: Pippi Longstocking turns 80 — we visit Junibacken to hear why she still resonates with kids and parents today.
