Semuel Abrijani Pangerapan, a senior communications ministry
official, said in a statement the ministry had summoned
representatives from Telkom and PLN and had sent recommendations
on data protection to both firms.
A Telkom spokesperson told Reuters on Monday that there was no
breach of IndiHome customers' data.
PLN's spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for
comment although it was quoted by local media as saying on
Saturday that it was investigating an alleged breach.
Indonesia has had a slew of alleged data breaches in recent
years, including on its COVID-19 screening app which led to
President Joko Widodo's vaccine records being shared widely on
social media in September.
A data protection bill aiming to bolster the country's cyber
security infrastructure was submitted to parliament in 2020 but
has yet to be passed.
