Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Hadi Tjahjanto held a meeting with the Minister of Communication and Information Budi Ari Setiadi and the Head of the National Cyber Password Agency Hinsa Siburian to discuss the leaking of national data due to the hacking of the National Data Center (PDN) 2.

The meeting was held behind closed doors. However, before the meeting started, several officials were seen at the office of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, including Budi Arie Setiadi, Hinsa Siburian and the President Director of PT Telkom Ririek Adriansyah.

Until now, the coordination meeting chaired by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs is still ongoing.

Previously, on Monday (24/6), the government through BSSN and the Ministry of Communication and Information identified as many as 211 agencies affected by the Temporary National Data Center (PDNS) cyberattack 2.

Then on Tuesday (25/6), 282 agencies were identified as affected by the PDNS 2 incident.

However, on Wednesday (26/6), it was recorded that 44 agencies were ready to carry out data recovery, while the rest were still in process. Of all that, five agencies have served the community again after migrating data.

Minister of Communication and Information Budi Ari Setiadi and Head of BSSN Hinsa Siburian have explained to Commission I of the DPR RI regarding cyber attacks on PDNS 2.

Budi Arie said there were no indications of data leakage due to cyberattack disturbances against PDNS 2 in Surabaya.

"Earlier, the results of the meeting with Commission I showed no indication and there was no evidence of a data leak," said Budi Arie.

Budi Arie said efforts to restore PDNS 2 were still being carried out. The Ministry of Communication and Information targets a full recovery of PDNS 2 to be completed by mid-August 2024.
