I've seen lots of courses like this. https://www.securityjourney.com/ https://new-www.securecodewarrior.com/ Coursera and Udacity have a bunch too.

Can anyone explain what's special about this University of Helsinki one that it made it to the front page of HN?

Not sure, but it might be the celebratory factor. (Given that both UoH and F-secure are involved, it's a good bet that Mikko Hyppönen is involved in this somehow, who is a pretty famous security expert).

Looks like Mikko is involved https://twitter.com/mikko/status/790814411468472320

The two you linked seem to only have a free trial, whereas this one is completely free. I'm not sure about the Coursera and Udacity ones though.

It says on the page that this course is made in collaboration with F-Secure, a pretty well-known cyber security company. Hopefully they know their stuff :)
