Just as there was a lot of excitement circulating about the potential for PLN to experience a customer data leak, the Indonesian people have been made even more excited by Indihome being attacked by hackers, resulting in the data of 26 million customers being leaked and distributed by hackers.

In 2020, Teguh Aprianto as a cyber security observer told Indihome to turn off trackers that could potentially steal search history. Now what has happened is that hackers have managed to steal the data and share it for free.

It wasn't just 26 million browsing history data that was stolen, but also the names and NIKs of Indihome consumers.

If an Indihome consumer watches an adult film and gets caught, then their browsing history is shared with their name and NIK, of course this could make the consumer feel embarrassed.

Currently, the Ministry of Communication and Information has summoned Telkom management to ask for information and discuss what further steps Telkom will take to overcome this data leak problem which has the potential to harm Indihome consumers.

Kominfo and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) will coordinate to determine technical recommendations to increase personal data protection.

On the other hand, Telkom finally spoke up. They actually doubt the authenticity of the data circulating.

According to SVP Corporate Communication & Investor Relations Telkom Ahmad Reza, there are several things that are doubtful, such as the email sample is @telkom.net, while Indihome actually uses @telkom.co.id. According to Ahmad Reza, Telkom also never gives their customers email addresses, so Ahmad Reza finds this strange.

Telkom is committed to protecting important customer data using the most advanced and integrated cyber security system so that it is currently a top priority to maintain the confidentiality of their consumer data.
