JAKARTA - Based on Kaspersky's latest telemetry for 2025 in Indonesia, nearly 40 million threat attempts on devices (on device threats) were detected in the country, with 31.5% of users attacked by local threats.
This year, Kaspersky products detected 39,718,903 local incidents, this is equivalent to more than 108,000 incidents per day originating from removable devices. This data also places Indonesia in the 71st position globally.
File worms and viruses are the cause of most of these incidents. This data shows how often users are attacked by malware that spreads through removable USB drives, CDs and DVDs, as well as other "offline" methods.
The five countries with the highest local threat detection rates in 2025 include Turkmenistan (69%), Tajikistan (58.9%), Afghanistan (55.9%), Uzbekistan (54.4%), and Yemen (53.2%).
Kaspersky's Indonesia Country Manager, Defi Nofitra, said that remote work patterns do provide convenience, but also expand the potential for cyber security risks for individuals and organizations.
"Although working remotely is convenient and has many benefits, it also exposes individuals and businesses to various cybersecurity risks. That's why it's important to seriously consider cybersecurity at home and personally," said Defi.
According to him, devices such as laptops and smart phones used outside the office network must still get the same protection as devices behind the company's firewall.
"With dispersed and remote workforces, staff need to be more vigilant of cyber security threats even outside the office environment to ensure they can work safely and comfortably during Ramadan," he said.
