JAKARTA - The umpteenth case of personal data leakage has occurred. The data allegedly identical to BPJS Health was leaked on hacker forum Raid Forums.
Of course, this event increasingly shows the urgency of the establishment of the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) by the House of Representatives. On the other hand, The Commissioner of the Central Information Committee, Cecep Suryadi, appreciated the government's response to calling BPJS Kesehatan for investigation.
According to Cecep, efforts are also needed to thoroughly investigate the alleged leak and sale of personal data of citizens.
"Personal data is data that must be protected. Therefore, anyone both public and private bodies who own and store someone's personal data, must protect their confidentiality", Cecep said in a statement as quoted by VOI, Sunday, May 23.
Cecep also added, because it is guaranteed in Law No. 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure and stipulated in Law No. 24 of 2013 on Amendments to Law No. 23 of 2006 on Population Administration.
In the era of technological developments that are increasingly advanced, it can be said that today there is an emergency of protection of personal data.
This is because the legal guarantee of personal data protection is still very weak, in addition to serious efforts from the House of Representatives and the Government in discussing and passing a Bill on the Protection of Personal Data is still not completed.

"Event after incident regarding the leakage of personal data of citizens is a serious concern to speed up discussion and pass the Personal Data Protection Bill. It can be said that there is currently an emergency for the protection of personal data in the midst of the rapid development of technology, therefore the Bill of Protection of Personal Data must be immediately passed and enacted in order to maintain the confidentiality of personal data of Indonesian citizens", explained Cecep.
He explained that the protection of personal data of Indonesian citizens is a basic thing that must be considered because by accelerating the use of the Personal Data Protection Bill can be a solution to be able to properly manage the personal data of Indonesian citizens and can ensnare parties who leak personal data or sell personal data.
"I think the solution to this personal data leak is to immediately pass the Personal Data Protection Bill, so that the public can obtain a clear legal guarantee", Cecep said.
