Brinztech Alert: Database of Indonesian Site Indiana-web.com Leaked with National ID Numbers

Dark Web News Analysis: Indiana-web.com Database Leaked

A database, reportedly from the website Indiana-web.com, has been leaked and advertised on a hacker forum. Despite the website’s name, the contents of the leak indicate it is an Indonesian service, as the compromised data includes highly sensitive national identifiers specific to Indonesia.

The data, made available in SQL and TXT formats, contains a comprehensive collection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The leak is particularly dangerous as it includes:

• Full names, phone numbers (MSISDN), email addresses, and home addresses.
• Dates of birth.
• KTP numbers (Kartu Tanda Penduduk – Indonesian National ID Card numbers).
• KK numbers (Kartu Keluarga – Indonesian Family Card numbers).
• Other sensitive details related to transactions or registrations.

Key Cybersecurity Insights

The inclusion of Indonesian national and family identification numbers makes this a critical data breach with severe potential consequences.

• A Complete Toolkit for Identity Theft in Indonesia: The combination of a name, address, date of birth, KTP number, and KK number constitutes a complete “identity theft kit” in Indonesia. This is all the information a criminal needs to attempt to impersonate a victim for a wide range of fraudulent activities, including opening financial accounts, applying for loans, and registering for other online services.
• High Risk of Family-Based Social Engineering: The exposure of the KK (Family Card) number is particularly dangerous as this identifier links family members. Attackers can leverage this information to craft highly convincing and manipulative social engineering scams that exploit family connections, making their fraudulent requests seem more legitimate and harder to detect.
• A Severe Violation of Indonesia’s PDP Law: A confirmed breach of this nature, especially one containing sensitive national identifiers like KTP and KK numbers, would be a severe violation of Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law. The organization behind the website would face significant penalties and intense scrutiny from regulators like the BSSN and Kominfo.
• Potent Fuel for SMS Phishing (Smishing) and Scams: With a list of Indonesian phone numbers (MSISDN) directly linked to other sensitive PII, criminals can launch large-scale and highly targeted smishing campaigns. These scams, often related to package deliveries, bank alerts, or fake government notices, are highly prevalent and effective in Indonesia.

Mitigation Strategies

An urgent response is required from the compromised organization, and heightened vigilance is necessary for any individuals affected.

• For Indiana-web.com: Immediate Investigation and Containment: The company must immediately launch a thorough forensic investigation to confirm the breach, identify the root cause, and assess the full scope of the compromise. The affected systems must be contained to prevent further data loss.
• For Indiana-web.com: Notify Authorities and Users: The company is obligated to report the incident to the relevant Indonesian authorities (BSSN, Kominfo) as required by the PDP Law. A clear and transparent notification must be sent to all affected users, warning them of the specific risks of identity theft involving their KTP and KK numbers.
• For Affected Users: Be on High Alert for Identity Fraud: Any individual whose data may be in this leak must assume they are at a high and immediate risk of identity theft. They should meticulously monitor their financial accounts, credit history, and be extremely wary of any notifications about new accounts or credit applications made in their name.
• For Affected Users: Beware of Targeted Phishing and Smishing: All users whose data was exposed must treat all unsolicited calls, emails, and especially text messages with extreme suspicion. Do not click on links or provide any further personal information, even if the sender already knows your personal details like your KTP number.
