JAKARTA - The Directorate of Cyber Crime, Bareskrim Polri, has summoned one suspected hacker Bjorka. He is said to have the initials MAH and was secured in the Madiun area, East Java.

"What I just received is that only one person is still being investigated in East Java (Madiun, ed)," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Thursday, September 15.

However, it is not certain whether the person with the initials MAH is indeed a hacker with the name Bjorka or not.

So far, Dedi said that the special team (timsus) from the BSSN, Polri, BIN, and Kemenkominfo are still investigating their involvement.

"The one in Madiun is being investigated regarding the matter in question (suspected Bjorka, ed). All teams are still working," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the news that someone was referred to as a Bjorka hacker in the Cirebon area, West Java, Dedi emphasized that it was not true.

The reason is that there is no information regarding this matter. Because, from the data obtained, only one person has been arrested but his involvement is still being investigated.

Private data belonging to state officials was also hacked by Bjorka, one of which was the Minister of Communication and Information Johnny G Plate and his director-general. The personal data was published by Bjorka through his Telegram account.
