My resistance about getting a Danish digital signature provided by TDC.dk was right.

A flaw in the signature could let just about anyone gain access to personal information from various official government agencies like the Danish equilavent to the US IRS called Told & Skat. Copying the signature simply removes the password !

Some 150.000 current users are affected by the bug, which TDC has known for the past 2 months.

Danish article about the flaw:
