Threat Actor on BreachForums claims Leak of Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia

A recent data breach has reportedly compromised sensitive information from Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia (ANRI), the national archive of Indonesia.

A threat actor on the notorious BreachForums has claimed responsibility for leaking over 11,000 records containing personal and sensitive data, sparking concerns over the security of government institutions in the country.

Details of the Alleged Breach

According to reports from FalconFeeds.io, the compromised dataset includes a wide range of personal information.

The leaked records allegedly contain user IDs, user codes, names, email addresses, and NIP numbers (Nomor Induk Pegawai), which are unique identification numbers assigned to Indonesian civil servants.

The breach is significant due to the sensitivity of the information involved, as NIP numbers are used for official purposes and can be exploited for identity theft or fraud.

The threat actor responsible for the breach posted the dataset on BreachForums, a well-known platform for cybercriminals to trade and share stolen data.

While the authenticity of the leak has yet to be independently verified by cybersecurity experts or ANRI itself, the claim has raised alarm among Indonesian authorities and citizens alike.

Potential Impact on Indonesian Citizens

The leak could have far-reaching consequences for individuals whose data has been exposed.

With over 11,000 records allegedly compromised, there is a risk that affected individuals could become targets for phishing attacks, identity theft, or other forms of cybercrime.

The inclusion of NIP numbers is particularly concerning because they are tied to civil servants’ official identities and could potentially be used to access government systems or services.

In addition to personal risks, the breach also highlights vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s digital infrastructure.

Government agencies like ANRI are responsible for managing vast amounts of sensitive information, and any compromise of such data could undermine public trust in these institutions.

As more details emerge about the breach, there will likely be increased scrutiny on how Indonesian.
