JAKARTA - The alleged leak of several agency data in Indonesia has occurred again. This time, data from an Intel agent from the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) was uploaded during the breached.to the site by a user named Strovian.

In a post titled "STUPID INTELLIGENCE", Strovian uploaded a screenshot of news from an online media portal, where BIN denied the data leak occurred in August.

Not only that, according to VOI monitoring, Strovian also included a sample of BIN's intelligence agent data containing name, place of birth, rank, and class, as well as T.M.T (starting from the date, indicating the period of appointment).

Strovian's action actually brings support from other users. A user named Herlino said "good bro, this is an open source country" or interpreted as "good bro, this is an open source country."

Then another comment came from user mastermime who said "INTELLIGENCE works with data, they may not understand the defense part."

Open Source itself can be interpreted as satire. Where all data is open source or whose source code is open to study, change, improvement and dissemination.

Launching from the explanation of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics itself, Open Source means a development system that is not coordinated by a central individual/institution, but by actors who work together by utilizing source code (source code), that is spread and freely available (usually using internet communication facilities).

In response to this allegation, several reports said that BIN stated that it was all a hoax, or not true. "The hoax is that BIN data is safe, encrypted, and all data is undercover. So BIN data is not leaked," said BIN spokesman Wawan Hari Putranto when confirmed.
