MidLand, Jakarta – A total of 685 million cyber attack happens online Internet Indonesia since July last year at the same time recorded an increase of 97.53% compared to the previous six months. This report was revealed by Indonesian digital security company, AwanPintar.id.
AwanPintar.id is a stakeholder in the Indonesian cyber world that participates in building cybersecurity through systematic mapping of threats on the Internet. The report on 685 million cyber attacks since July 2023 was compiled in the second half summary, because this company routinely counts cyber threats twice a year.
“The direct attacks on Indonesia’s internet infrastructure are not only coming from other countries, but also coming from within the country. Indonesia is among the top 10 countries contributing to cyber attacks,” said the founder of AwanPintar. id, Yudhi Kukuh, quoted in his statement, Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
Yudhi said that one of the cyberattacks that occurred in Indonesia was an attempt to carry out a massive credential theft, followed by an attempt to control the user’s network. “In this era, technological developments have become increasingly complex and present increasingly widespread attacks,” Yudhi said.
One of the causes of the cyber attacks that occurred in Indonesia, according to Yudhi, was the integration of data centers and critical infrastructure into global technology and networks. Yudhi said this condition could ease the risk of intrusion threats launched from cyberspace.

Yudhi is of the opinion that today’s cyber threats are a very effective tool to destabilize the country’s security, because they have the characteristics of being cheap, easy to implement and effective in achieving the desired results.
Cyber attack activities also appear to be very easy to attack Internet networks in Indonesia. Yudhi believes that Indonesia’s security and resistance to cyber attacks are still weak, and the existence of complex interconnections between networks means that attackers can hide from the attacks they launch.
Yudhi hopes that the cyber threat report published by AwanPintar.id can become material for policy makers, cybersecurity professionals and various parties to increase the resilience of cyber infrastructures. “This report plays an important role in efforts to maintain the sustainability of electronic systems and protect national interests in the digital age,” Yudhi said.
