JAKARTA: The government has been urged to immediately disclose the types of data affected by last week’s ransomware attack at a temporary National Data Centre (PDN) facility and to take swift action to recover the lost data.
With 98 percent of all affected data having been rendered inaccessible without any backups, analysts said that the government would have no choice but to recollect it from scratch, a move that will cost a fortune and require extensive efforts.
