JAKARTA - The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, reminded that the Data Protection Task Force created by the government can solve the problem of data leakage and cyber crime as a whole. For Puan, data leak cases are not only from the Bjorka phenomenon. “ Data leak cases have occurred a lot since the last few years. We hope that the Data Protection Task Force formed by involving a number of ministries/agencies can resolve cases of data leakage thoroughly,” said Puan in an electronic message received in Jakarta, Thursday, September 15. Hackers on behalf of Bjorka have leaked data belonging to a number of state agencies and officials. Starting from the claimed data from the SIM Card registration process, the General Elections Commission website, to the president's letters. “ The actual data leak problem has occurred before. The problem of data leaks is also not only related to state security, but also the personal data of the leaked citizens is no longer counted,&rdquo said Puan. For this reason, the DPR encourages the Data Protection Task Force to conduct a massive investigation. Considering, said Puan, the leaked public data concerns personal identity. <quo;We can't just focus on state-owned data, but ignore the leak of people's personal data,” he said. Puan also highlighted the Global Data Report of Breach Statistics (Surfshark) in the third quarter of 2022, which places Indonesia in third place as the country with the most data hacking. The report stated that Indonesia experienced 12.7 million hacking actions. “ Public health data is spread, not to mention the leak of personal information used by irresponsible persons to market their products. This is very disturbing and detrimental to the public,” said Puan. The former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture said cyber crimes also attack private agencies and electronic system operators (PSE). Therefore, Puan asked the Government to provide security protection for all parties. “ DPR hopes that a thorough investigation can find ministries/agencies, as well as agencies that have often been attacked by cyber attacks and/or vulnerable to being hacked, said the grandson of the Indonesian Proclaimer Bung Karno. “ That way there is an evaluation which can then improve the system and efforts to prevent cyber crime attacks, ” continued Puan. Puan also reminded again the importance of conducting an audit of the state cyber security system. This is because cases of data leakage and continuous cyberattacks occur. <quo; And of course a more sophisticated cybersecurity system must be built, including improving human resources (HR) in the field of qualified technology,” he said. The DPR will continue to monitor the Government's efforts to overcome the data leak problem. Moreover, the Data Protection Task Force made by the Government is in line with the Personal Data Protection Bill (RUU PDP) which mandates the establishment of an institution of personal data protection authority. “ Through Commission I which will also form a working committee (Panja) Leak Data, the DPR will continue to oversee the issue of data leakage that occurs. And the DPR is committed to protecting people's personal data through the PDP Bill which will soon be ratified, ” concluded Puan
