The Brain Cipher ransomware group has announced their decision to release the decryption keys for Indonesia Terkoneksi this Wednesday. The group stated that their attack was meant to emphasize the importance of financing the industry and hiring qualified specialists, clarifying that it was not politically motivated but rather a penetration test with post-payment.
The group expressed apologies to Indonesian citizens for the widespread impact of their actions and requested public acknowledgment of their independent decision to release the keys. They mentioned that if the government prefers not to thank them publicly, private gratitude via mail would be acceptable. Additionally, the group included a Monero wallet for donations, expressing hope for contributions by Wednesday, but reiterated that the keys will be provided for free and on their own initiative.
On the other hand, a threat actor claimed to be selling data of Kominfo – Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Indonesia) on BreachForums for $121,000. The data allegedly spans from 2021 to 2024. However, the post was subsequently deleted, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing cybersecurity concerns in Indonesia.
