JAKARTA - Hacking Bjorka shocked the whole of the archipelago. The anonymous account shows how easy it is to break into personal data on government and private servers. This action is like embarrassing the Indonesian government: Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo).
The power of attorney was furious. They made a special team chase Bjorka. Instead of successfully arresting the person behind Bjorka, the security forces actually arrested the ice seller. The wrongful action became a laughing stock for Bjorka.
The Indonesian government has never been able to maintain personal data protection. Many times the Indonesian people have been shown how easy it is for hackers to access personal data spread across private and government servers.
The ease of hacking the latest personal data was displayed by a hacker who called himself Bjorka. The anonymous account is like going back and forth to embarrass the government, especially Kominfo, which is not firm in maintaining personal data.
The government's inability to bring witnesses to data management was properly utilized by Bjorka. The BreachForums user was the culprit for the disbursement of data on 91 million Tokopedia subscribers in 2020.
Even though he just uploaded the data on August 19, 2022. Bjorka then leaked 270 million Wattpad social media users. The action continues to break into data from government servers such as IndiHome.
A total of 26 million IndiHome subscriber data he then sold to the BreachForums on August 20, 2022. Bjorka's target then increased. He started taking 105 million population data from the General Elections Commission (KPU) and started uploading it on December 6, 2022.
Bjorka continues to humiliate by breaking into 1.3 billion registration data from Sim Card which began to be uploaded to the BreachForums on August 31, 2022. The hack was carried out openly. Bjorka even challenged the government to arrest him.
Bjorka made this effort by spreading data belonging to high-ranking Indonesian officials. Kominfo Minister Johnny G. Plate was unlucky. The data was distributed and the cellphone kept ringing because the contact was displayed by Bjorka.
Personal data belonging to the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir to Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) were also distributed. The government considers Bjorka's attack to have broken data as nothing more than a trivial matter.

The motive is also 'gado-gado'. There are political motives, economic motives, buying and selling motives and so on. So, there are actually no such motifs that are too dangerous. From the results of this conclusion, what Bjorka called actually doesn't have any serious expertise or ability to break into (the system).
"It just wants to let us know that we have to be careful. We can be broken into and so on, but not until now. We will seriously handle and have started to deal with this problem, but also the public or society must be calm because actually until now there has been no leaked state secret," added the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), Mahfud MD as quoted by Kompas.com page, September 14, 2022.
Another in the mouth, another in the heart. The government, which initially insisted on Bjorka's attack, did not have a big impact, even a lot of fog. The government finally formed a special team consisting of Kominfo officials, the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the National Police on September 12, 2022.
The special team was tasked with finding out who was the mastermind behind Bjorka. Thankfully Bjorka was able to be sent to prison for causing a commotion. The special team was also of the view that Bjorka was not someone abroad.
The issue of Bjorka's whereabouts was blowing. A special team had investigated a man with the initials MSF from Cirebon as the mastermind behind Bjorka. This condition was due to MSF's Instagram social media upload which led to Bjorka.
Security forces conducted an inspection and found no entanglement between MSF and Bjorka. Mahfud MD also tried to confirm that the picture of the perpetrators of Bjorka (BIN) and the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) on September 14, 2022.
Mahfud was reluctant to specify who and where the location was. Mahfud's statement is not yet dry. The security forces have also secured a person named Muhammad Agung Hidayatullah (MAH) from Madiun.
MAH is suspected of being Bjorka. The police consider MAH as Bjorka. However, after being traced by MAH, only Bjorka's accomplice on the Telegram application. MAH is suspected of providing and selling @bjorkanism accounts/channels in the Telegram chat application for Bjorka.
MAH did that as a way to be famous and get money from Bjorka. The account was paid by Bjorka as much as 100 US dollars. This condition made him involved in posting messages given by Bjorka. Instead of getting praise, the special team actually received criticism from all Indonesian people.
The 21-year-old man who was arrested by the police with all kinds of alibis was named a suspect, is far from the image of a professional hacker. MAH's daily profession is an ice drink seller.
He didn't even have a laptop. MAH's arrest was considered wrong in arrest. Bjorka himself also confirmed the government's wrongful arrest. Bjorka said that the Indonesian government had succeeded in identifying him as a big lie.
The government considers it to have received misinformation from the dark web intelligence service, Dark Tracer (@darktracer_int). Recently, the problems related to Bjorka have never been revealed. Even with MAH's status as a suspect, he was released due to lack of evidence.
"This child has now been arrested and interrogated by the Indonesian government. For dark tracers, providing misinformation to a group of fans (read: the government) is a sin. The child doesn't even have a laptop or computer and he's just an ice seller" wrote Bjorka in his Telegram group, as quoted by the CNN Indonesia page on September 16, 2022.
