JAKARTA - The Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) dismissed the issue of data leakage on the Personnel Management Information System (SIMPEG).

The Public Relations Coordinator of the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Tubagus Erif Faturahman, said that the hack of the SIMPEG website was not true.

"Last Friday, we received information that our SIMPEG data was leaked and traded. After checking, it turned out that there was none. Until now the system and data are safe," said Tubagus in a statement received, Sunday, August 28.

Tubagus also added that the data belonging to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights employees scattered was not the data in their system, but only old data that was no longer used or not updated.

The point is that the data is not crucial data, so it cannot be used for economic crimes, banking or other things.

"The contents are only public data, in the form of names, NIP, account numbers, contact numbers or other data that cannot be used to break into accounts, change passwords or others," he added.

More specifically, Tubagus also revealed that the old data leak was possible because a laptop from one of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights admins downloaded the phishing application.

Tubagus admitted that the Ministry of Law and Human Rights received an average of two thousand attacks per day. And the efforts made by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to ward off the attack were to activate the blocking feature on the Advanced Web Application Firewall.

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights is also collaborating with BSSN to establish a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT).
