LIFA A/S

LIFA A/S is a Danish company that specializes in land surveying and related geospatial services. It operates primarily within Denmark, serving clients that require precise mapping, boundary determination, and spatial data analysis. In addition to traditional surveying work, the firm provides information technology solutions that support government address registration systems. Notably, it acts as an IT provider for the Borger.dk platform, which handles national address registration. The company’s headquarters are located in Denmark.

LIFA’s role as an IT provider for the Borger.dk address registration service links its operations to Danish critical infrastructure. The company was targeted in a March 2022 cyberattack attributed to the Russian ransomware group Conti. Conti, known for ties to the Russian state and professional capabilities, demanded a ransom that LIFA refused to pay. The attack disrupted LIFA’s internal systems and temporarily affected Borger.dk’s address registration functions. Although the attack did not compromise citizen address data, investigations were launched to assess potential theft of other corporate information. Authorities confirmed that no citizen address information was compromised while the assessment of corporate data continued. The incident occurred amid heightened cyber threats against Danish critical infrastructure linked to geopolitical tensions. In response, Danish businesses increased security measures and industry groups issued sectoral alerts. Authorities maintained existing risk assessments following the event. The incident was reported by Danish media outlets such as TV2 Fyn and Nyheder24, which highlighted the attack's impact on public services.
