Taiwan: China is the Real Root of Hackers!

With this incident, according to Alfons, the Indonesian people must know that their data has been leaked, including their NPWP.

For that, they need to be careful of the possibility of exploitation by the responsible party. One possible mode is to disguise as a tax officer.

“So you have to be extra careful, and he will most likely (lie) about the tax arrears, and how much fine you have to pay. If you don’t want to, you have to negotiate with us, that’s usually how it is,” said Alfons.

If this happens, Alfons also reminded the public to first confirm the information of the party contacting them.

This can be done by asking the tax office of origin or checking the number used to call.

Another way that can be done is to directly contact the tax office mentioned by the party, to confirm its truth.

“So, don’t believe it straight away. Even though he (the fraudster) has a lot of data, don’t believe it. If necessary, go to his office,” said Alfons closing his statement.

In addition, with instructions from President Jokowi, it is hoped that the government can immediately take swift action to close the existing security gaps.

Not only that, the government can also tighten supervision and improve encryption systems and password management.

Collaboration between the government and cybersecurity experts in Indonesia also needs to be improved, to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.

In this digital era, cyber security has become an important foundation for the sustainability of modern government.

This hacking case by an account claiming to be Bjorka shows that cyber threats cannot be ignored.

This case also raises many questions, especially regarding Indonesia’s readiness to face cyber threats in the future.
