Just knowing the personal number is not enough to do much with. To get access to services, verify who you are on when talking to companies there is a verification step, most commonly with the BankID app. Visual example: https://images.ctfassets.net/b2dmfxhmyqno/1cD0YDHjd9DGZnWfjHNAZJ/a93c0da100e47e96275b551cd66f2297/02_BankID_screens.png?w=1138&h=688&q=50&fm=png https://images.ctfassets.net/b2dmfxhmyqno/1cD0YDHjd9DGZnWfjH... Identity theft and spam still happens, just not through knowing the personal number.
