[TL;DR] : My country got cyber attack on National Data Center, the government admits that it has no backup data and hopeless to losing some data.
Since June 20, 2024, my country's government admitted that there was a cyber-attack incident on the national data centre, and it was confirmed that the form of attack was ransomware. This affected the company I work for, as some features are integrated with the national data centre. And yes im fucked up because all the personal data of Indonesian people is collected in the national data centre such as ID License & Driving license.
It has been counted 79 times from 2019 to 2023. And this keeps happening because there are no competent people in IT or cyber security in the ministry of IT technology. They are all just entrusted from certain groups or parties. I understand that using GrapheneOS as my main device to communicate & social media will not be free from cyber threats. What should I do if this cyber attack already happened?
What I have done is to change all passwords of government applications that I have (including banks) and some social media. Before this attack happened, I always added a watermark to every scan of my important documents if there is an administrative matter. Any help or suggestion would be helpful. Thank you so much.
