### Main Headline/Development
Cyberattack Targets Multiple Indonesian Tech and Telecom Firms, Including Telkom Indonesia.

### Key Facts and Context
On September 12, 2025, a threat actor claimed responsibility for breaching six Indonesian companies in education, telecom, IT services, and logistics. Telkom Indonesia, the country’s largest state-owned telecom provider, was hit, with alleged leaks of 228 staff and admin accounts. Other affected firms include PT. Kawauso Teknologi Indonesia, with 20 internal accounts reportedly exposed. The claims surfaced on social media platforms like X, from sources such as Hackmanac and FalconFeeds.io. This follows a pattern of rising cyberattacks in Indonesia, with over 3 million incidents reported in Q1 2025 alone, according to earlier data from SAFEnet and Kaspersky. Details on the full extent of the breach remain unverified by official sources, and no group has been definitively linked.

### Why This Matters
ai-innovation-amid-digital-growth/" title="Indonesia’s Tech Sector Sees Surge in Data Centers and AI Innovation amid Digital Growth">Indonesia’s tech and telecom sectors are critical to its digital economy, supporting millions of users and businesses in Southeast Asia. A breach at Telkom could expose sensitive data, disrupt services, and erode trust in national infrastructure. With cyberattacks up significantly—19 million attempts in 2024 per Kaspersky—this highlights vulnerabilities in a region pushing for rapid tech growth, potentially leading to financial losses and regulatory scrutiny.

### What to Watch for Next
Monitor official statements from Telkom Indonesia and Indonesian authorities for confirmation of the breach and any service impacts. Look for updates on data recovery efforts, potential ransomware demands, or international attributions. Broader trends in Southeast Asian cybersecurity could emerge if similar attacks hit neighboring countries.
