“This is an unprecedented development in the world of ransomware,” said Dr. Anita Sharma, a cybersecurity analyst to cybersecuritynews. “While it’s a positive step for the victims, it’s crucial to remain vigilant.

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.
