This data is publically available to anyone in Sweden:

Your salary (well, last years taxable income), debts/credit rating, criminal history, address, phone number, which vehicles and properties you own and which company boards you're on.

One of organized criminals biggest income these days are scamming rich old folks because it's so trivial to get all details needed (and who to target) to be a pretty convincing bankman, IRS type agent/etc.

Some of it you have to kind of manually request at various places, but it's all available.

So data breaches aren't really that big of a deal when everything is already public.

Afaik this breach also contained a lot of data about medical condition related to workplaces.

If I understand correctly the only thing not public that was leaked was the role each person had in the government.

Why would the role within the government not be public? I can't imagine that being treated as a secret.
