Indonesia has been rocked by a cyberattack that has impacted more than 40 government agencies, including the immigration ministry and operations at major airports. The latest attack – the worst the country has seen in years – has also disrupted immigration services and affected operations at government data centres, officials say.

Some 44 government agencies, including key ministries, were targets of a ransomware attack, an official from the communications ministry, said this week. The notorious Lockbit cybercrime gang has demanded an $8 million ransom.

Data at five agencies, including immigration services and the coordinating ministry of investment, have been restored, and the government was working to restore data at 39 other agencies, he said. “We expect the data at 18 government agencies to be restored by the end of this month,” Usman said.
