Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Hadi Tjahjanto said his party would summon the Director General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance regarding the alleged case of data leakage of Taxpayer Identification Numbers (NPWP).

The public needs to know the reasons that caused the NPWP data leak. "We'll explain later after we call the Director General of Taxes, Friday," said Hadi after a working meeting with Commission I of the DPR at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Antara, Monday, September 23.

Not only the Director General of Taxes, he said he would also summon the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) and the National Cyber Password Agency (BSSN) to evaluate the alleged leakage of NPWP data.

"This week I will summon the Director General of Taxes, then from BSSN, including the Ministry of Communication and Information, to evaluate the problem in detail so that something similar does not happen," he said.

He said he would investigate the factors that caused the weakness that made the NPWP data allegedly leaked.

"Is the Directorate General of Taxes also at that time as part of not storing his data in PDNS (Temporary National Data Center) 2? This can also be done, and what are the weaknesses so that something like this can happen," he said.

Currently, he said, BSSN continues to evaluate the alleged data leak. He did not deny that some of the allegedly leaked NPWP data did not match the original data of the owner.

"Currently, BSSN continues to evaluate, we also continue to be summoned, indeed it was found that there was a discrepancy," he said.

The alleged leak of NPWP data emerged after the founder of the Indonesian Ethical Hacker Teguh Aprianto uploaded a screenshot of the Breach Forums site. Through the X @secgron account, he said as many as six million NPWP data were traded on the site by an account named Bjorka on September 18, 2024.

Apart from NPWP, data that was also dragged, including the Population Identification Number (NIK), address, telephone number, electronic mail (email), and other data. The selling price of all the data reached Rp150 million.

In the same tweet, Teguh said the leaked data also belonged to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and his sons Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Kaesang Pangarep.
