Friends, from this case, it turns out that we just found out that our personal data is very vulnerable to being tapped. For example, from @ opposite6891, it was very easy for him to get data about me. I demand answers from @Telkomsel & @kemkominfo. This is terrible. It could happen to you and your family. pic.twitter.com/ZXsIbIc4r4
