“We confirm that both customer data and funds are secure. All BRI banking systems are functioning normally, and our transaction services are operating smoothly,” Arga said in the statement.
He assured customers that they can continue using BRI’s banking services, including digital platforms like BRImo, QLola, ATMs, CRMs, and more, with full data security.
The bank stated that its information security systems meet international standards and are regularly updated to tackle new threats.
“Proactive measures are in place to ensure that customer information remains protected,” Arga added.
The statement follows social media rumors on Wednesday evening about a possible data breach at BRI.
The attack is thought to be connected to Bashe Ransomware, which has ties to the infamous LockBit group responsible for breaching Indonesia’s National Data Center in June.
Bashe Ransomware mainly targets high-value sectors such as technology, business services, manufacturing, finance, transportation, and healthcare. Its attacks occur in North America and Europe.
Bashe Ransomware usually spreads via phishing emails with malware. When a victim opens the email, the malware quickly encrypts their data across the network. Victims must pay a ransom to access their files again.
