Indonesia is investigating alleged personal data breaches at state-owned telecoms firm PT Telkom, Indonesia's internet service IndiHome and state utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), its communications ministry said.
Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan, a senior communications ministry official, said in a statement the ministry had summoned representatives from Telkom and PLN and had sent recommendations on data protection to both firms.
A Telkom spokesperson told Reuters that there was no breach of IndiHome customers' data. PLN's spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment although it was quoted by local media as saying on Saturday that it was investigating an alleged breach.
