From the beginning of 2026, mail sent by several authorities will primarily arrive electronically in Suomi.fi Messages.

When an individual identifies themselves in the e-services of an authority for the first time at the beginning of 2026 or after that, an electronic mailbox will be created for them in Suomi.fi Messages. The change will affect about two million digital service users who do not use Suomi.fi Messages yet. After this change, the Suomi.fi Messages will be used by more than four million people.

Media representatives now have the opportunity to hear and ask about the change and its implementation at a media event organised on Thursday 9 October 2025.


The event will be organised at Sofia Helsinki (Sofiankatu 4 C, Helsinki) and remotely.

The program begins at 9:00 a.m. (breakfast will be served from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. for those attending the event on site).

At the event, experts from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency will explain

  • what the change is about
  • how the change will be visible to citizens
  • what kind of campaign and tour will be organised to introduce the change to citizens


At the event, it will be possible to agree an interview with the experts responsible for the project.

The event will be held in Finnish.

Barometern för digital säkerhet 2025: Finländarna litar på myndigheterna, men digitala bedrägerier och cyberhot oroar8.10.2025 06:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Enligt Myndigheten för digitalisering och befolkningsdatas färska Barometer för digital säkerhet har finländarnas förtroende för den digitala säkerheten försämrats. I synnerhet cyberattacker och digitala bedrägerier upplevs som betydande hot. Även den snabba utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens och dess förmåga att behandla personuppgifter väcker oro. Förtroendet för myndigheterna, aktörerna inom finansbranschen och den egna arbetsgivaren har dock förblivit högt.

Digiturvabarometri 2025: Suomalaiset luottavat viranomaisiin, mutta digihuijaukset ja kyberuhat huolestuttavat8.10.2025 06:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Digi- ja väestötietoviraston tuoreen Digiturvabarometrin mukaan suomalaisten luottamus digitaaliseen turvallisuuteen on heikentynyt. Erityisesti kyberhyökkäykset ja digihuijaukset koetaan merkittäviksi uhkiksi. Myös tekoälyn nopea kehitys ja sen kyky käsitellä henkilötietoja herättävät huolta. Luottamus viranomaisiin, finanssialan toimijoihin ja omaan työnantajaan on kuitenkin pysynyt korkeana.
