JAKARTA, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Indonesian police are investigating claims by a
hacker who said this week they have stolen personal data of thousands of police
officers, the latest in a spate of cyber attacks that has highlighted the
country's digital vulnerabilities.

Using a now suspended Twitter handle, a hacker who said they were from Brazil
claimed to have obtained the data of 28,000 officers by infiltrating Indonesia's
national police server, according to local media reports.



The hacker said the information compromised included names, home addresses,
emails, phone numbers and blood types.

"Right now we are handling the case, and it is being looked into by the
cybercrime unit," said police spokesman, Dedi Prasetyo, without providing
further details.



The incident follows an attack claimed by the same hacker last month on
Indonesia's Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN).

The BSSN did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the recent data
breaches.



The hacks have highlighted digital security vulnerabilities at state agencies in
Indonesia, which has one of the world's biggest online markets.

In August, a flaw in the health ministry's COVID-19 app exposed the personal
data and health status of 1.3 million people. The same week the president's own
vaccine certificate was leaked.

A month later, police confirmed they were also investigating an alleged hack at
the country's intelligence agency, and 10 government ministries by a group known
as Mustang Panda.

Indonesia has seen a rise in cyber attacks, with 888 million attempts recorded
from January to August, according to data from the national cyber agency.

Wahyudi Djafar, executive director of local Institute for Policy Research and
Advocacy, a non-governmental organisation, called for more transparency around
investigations of data breaches in Indonesia.

"The challenge is, every time there's a data breach that involves public
institutions, there hasn't been an investigation process that's done with
accountability," he said.
