"The Indonesian Army appreciates Twitter Indonesia for helping to recover the Indonesian Army's Twitter account so that it can operate again as usual and has helped secure this account from illegal activities," he said as quoted by Antara.

For now, Hamim said the TNI AD continues to evaluate their cyber security systems.

Thus, he continued, in the future the TNI AD can take preventive measures that are able to minimize cyber attack disturbances from irresponsible parties, both in terms of information systems and social media (medsos) owned by the Indonesian Army.

Previously, the TNI AD's Twitter account was hacked by irresponsible parties showing a lot of tweets containing images ofappropriation.

The hacking case in recent times has become a public discussion. In addition to hackers on the TNI AD Twitter account, there are also hackers claiming to be "Bjorka" through the Telegram group. He claimed to have hacked President Joko Widodo's correspondence, including a letter from the State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

The Bjorka claim was disseminated by a Twitter account "DarkTracer: DaekWeb Criminal Intelligence", which went viral and briefly became one of the most popular discussion topics on Twitter until Saturday (10/9) morning.
