According to Reuters, a cyber attacker compromised Indonesia’s national data centre, leading to disruptions in immigration checks at airports. The attacker demanded an $8 million ransom. As a result, several government services were affected, particularly at airports, where long lines formed at immigration desks1. The automated passport machines are now operational, but the incident highlights the severity of cyber threats to public services in Indonesia.
