JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) through the Director General of Aptika, Samuel Abrijani Pangerapan, said that he was conducting further review of the leak of 1.3 billion SIM Card registration data.

Previously, Samuel said that Kominfo had held coordination meetings with cellular operators to the Directorate of Cyber Crime of the Police.

The coordination meeting held by Kominfo was attended by the Directorate General of Dukcapil, BSSN, Cyber Crime Police, and cellular operators including Telkomsel, XL, 3, Indosat, and Smart.

"We agreed to conduct a more in-depth investigation, Dukcapil and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) will assist cellular operators (Opsel) to explore further," Samuel told the media on Monday, September 5 in Jakarta.

Furthermore, Samuel acknowledged that there was a data leak, and now Kominfo together with Cyber Crime Police and BSSN are trying to find out who the data was spreading.

From the results of the meeting, Samuel stated that the sample data uploaded by Bjorka related to the 1.3 recorded leaks were not the same, but there were 15 to 20 percent similarities.

"So we ask Opsel to immediately report to us for mitigation, and immediately be notified to the public," he said further.

As we previously know, on Thursday, September 1, a Twitter account named @SRifki said that 1.3 billion SIM Card registration data had been leaked.

The data was leaked by a person named Bjorka's account. He also shared two million free samples including NIK, phone number, provider name (provider), and also registration date.

From the screenshot uploaded, the image displays the spreader (Bjorka) selling all of these data at a price of 742 million rupiah.
