As Indonesia races to set up a cybersecurity task force amid a spate of data
leaks that have included top-secret documents and voter information being
hacked, analysts say the breaches would be the “tip of the iceberg” unless the
government draws up laws to protect data.

reassure Indonesians that all state secrets remained safe.
