Recorded future reported, the Indonesian communications and informatics minister, Budi Arie Setiadi, is under pressure to resign. This is due to a major ransomware attack on the country’s national data center, which caused disruptions in over 200 institutions, including government agencies.

Over 18,500 Indonesians signed a petition asking Setiadi to resign. The petition was started by SAFEnet, a local digital rights organization, last week.

“As a state institution responsible for data and information management, including security, the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology should also be held accountable for the current ransomware attack,” the petition said.
