© AFP 2019 / TT NEWS AGENCY / PONTUS LUNDAHLPensioners Bicker as Sweden is Set to Become World's First Cashless SocietyToday's Sweden is on the cutting edge when it comes to electronic payment solutions. At present, Swedish National Bank (Riksbank) is poised to become the first major bank to emit a national digital currency. Whereas the e-krona will hardly supplant traditional currency in the nearest future, it may nevertheless become a longed-for supplement for one of the world's most digitalized nations.

The bureau chose Pegasystems Inc, reasoning that outsourcing would be cheaper and more effective. Three years later, the project faces serious reliability and security problems, according to Reuters interviews with six technology professionals currently or formerly involved in the census digitization effort.

The Pega-built website was hacked from IP addresses in Russia during 2018 testing of census systems, according to two security sources with direct knowledge of the incident.
