Indonesia says it has begun recovering data after major ransomware attack

Posted on July 13, 2024 by Dissent

The Straits Times reports:

Indonesia said it is beginning to recover data that had been encrypted in a major ransomware attack in June which affected more than 160 government agencies.

The attackers, identified as Brain Cipher, asked for US$8 million (S$10.7 million) in ransom to unlock the data, before they later apologised and released the decryption key for free, according to Singapore-based cyber-security firm StealthMole.

The attack disrupted multiple government services, including immigration and operations at major airports. Indonesian officials have acknowledged that the bulk of the data had not been backed up.
