There have been some weird legal cases in Sweden where businesses and scammers have been freed after having signed in using other people's "BankID" to change retirement savings around or send cash.

Its the ID method I use for credits, pharmacies, health care, taxes, but was apparently not an ID so it's not id-hijacking.

Klarna has man in the middled my bank account before and performed a purchase and I've boycotting any company having them as the only payment option since.

OH, now I also remember Klarna adding credit in my name since they only needed my tax registered adress. I lived in a dorm so someone just used our public information to take out credits to order sneakers and could break into the crappy entry mailbox.
