Jakarta. The Communication and Information Technology Ministry reported that 90 percent of government services disrupted by the June 20 data breach at the Temporary National Data Center (PDNS) 2 in Surabaya have been restored, though some data recovery efforts are ongoing.

"About 90 percent of the services are back online. A few data issues remain to be addressed," said Hokky Situngkir, Director General of Informatics Applications (Aptika), during a press briefing on Friday.

Most of the restored services are priority services, though Hokky did not specify which agencies they involve. The remaining issues pertain to internal user management, which the ministry cannot access directly.

Regarding the financial impact of the breach, Hokky noted that a detailed assessment is still ongoing. The investigation into the extent of the damages is continuing.

The breach on June 20 caused significant disruptions to public services across numerous agencies, including the Directorate General of Immigration’s autogate system, which affected public mobility.

The attack involved a ransomware variant known as Brain Cipher, related to Lockbit 3.0. The hackers have demanded $8 million (Rp 131.15 million) in ransom to restore the data.

A document with usernames and passwords for accessing PDNS 2’s virtual cloud data has surfaced online. Notably, the administrator's password was “Admin#1234,” which was weak and easily guessable.
