JAKARTA - A number of demonstrations took place in DKI Jakarta and several other areas to reject the Job Creation Law. The government websites are also not spared from hacking.
The Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) also encourages the public and activists who take part in demonstrations to secure the conversation application it uses. In particular the WhatsApp chat application which often experiences hacks.
"Secure your WhatsApp (WA) account. So that your account is not misused, it can even endanger your safety when taking action," wrote YLBHI via its Instagram account, Thursday, October 8.
YLBHI also released a short guide to securing WA accounts. Given that there are not a few activists whose WA accounts have been tapped to take account transfers. Even though WhatsApp can only be accessed for one and one device.
"Beware of receiving phone calls from unknown numbers via WhatsApp. There have been many incidents where malware or spyware was planted via phone calls," wrote YLBHI.
If the WA account has been taken over, YLBHI advises users to immediately delete and reinstall the WhatsApp account on their smartphone. Then activate the WhatsApp account with the number used, including re-registering the OTP code via SMS.
Later automatically the perpetrators who access your WhatsApp will no longer be able to control the account. YLBHI also asks the public to activate Two Step Verification, including reporting to [email protected] if the WhatsApp account is being taken over by an unknown person.
