Ransomware attack causes Indonesian immigration data to be transferred to Amazon Web Service
JakartaMinister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly has confirmed that immigration data services, now hosted on Amazon Web Service (AWS) after a cyberattack, are secure.
“Currently, the data remains on AWS. Everything is complete and in good condition, without any further problems,” Yasonna Laoly said after an internal meeting regarding the cyberattack on the Temporary National Data Center (PDNS) of the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Friday.
Yasonna assured that the immigration data stored on AWS was safe from leaks. However, he could not specify when the data would be returned to PDNS.
“We will see how the situation develops,” he added.
The Department of Justice and Human Rights' immigration services were transferred to AWS following disruptions at PDNS caused by a ransomware attack on June 20.
The National Cybersecurity and Encryption Agency (BSSN) and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics identified that 282 institutions were affected by the ransomware attack.
President Joko Widodo has tasked Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Abdullah Azwar Anas to conduct a study and seek references on national data management in several countries in preparation for the establishment of the official PDN.
“In various countries, the governance and management of national data centers, such as Canada, India and several others, have special units dedicated to the management of these centers,” he explained.
Azwar Anas said the government would form a technical implementation unit after the launch of the official National Data Center (PDN) in late 2024.
Following the ransomware attack that compromised the national data center and disrupted immigration services, Minister of Communication and Informatics Budi Arie Setiadi stressed that Indonesia is not alone country affected by such attacks.
In a hearing before the House Committee I, which oversees defense and foreign affairs, Budi noted that Indonesia ranks among the lowest in the G20 in terms of the number of ransomware attacks.
“No country in the world is safe from ransomware. The United States is the most affected, accounting for 40.43 percent of the total, followed by Canada with 6.75 percent, the United Kingdom with 6, 44 percent, Germany with 4.29 percent and France with 3.8 percent, Indonesia's share is only 0.67 percent,” Budi said. citing data from Technology Review Insight.
Budi said the data center is expected to fully recover from the impacts of the attack by the end of July. However, the data stored there is lost and unusable. He mentioned earlier that the group behind the attack demanded an $8 million ransom. The ransomware used is called Brain Cipher.
