JAKARTA: An alleged data breach has hit the General Elections Commission (KPU), raising concerns about the vulnerability of the poll body’s digital security system, which analysts say can potentially compromise the upcoming elections’ integrity.
Claims of a breach in the KPU’s voter roll came to light on Tuesday (Nov 26), after an account named Jimbo posted on online hacker platform BreachForums that they were looking to sell 204.8 million pieces of unique data from the Indonesian voters list.
