JAKARTA - In the digital era like now, rumors about cyber attacks often spread faster than fact. This can cause unnecessary panic and harm to businesses.

As the leading IT security company in Indonesia, PT ITSEC Asia Tbk said that cybercriminals would take advantage of this panic situation to blackmail their victims.

"Ransomware attacks are indeed a serious threat, but misinformation about cyber attacks can be as dangerous. This can distract from real threats and cause confusion," said Joseph Lumban Gaol, President Director of PT ITSEC Asia Tbk in a written statement.
