Semmy also revealed about the development of the decryption key for the Brain Cipher ransomware that has been provided by the Lockbit 3.0 hacker group. In short, Semmy said that the decryption key has been technically tested to unlock the files in the PDNS that were previously locked by the Brain Cipher ransomware. "We have tried it, and it can indeed be opened, but because there are many files that are locked, the process is still ongoing," said Semmy.

"Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) admitted to having evaluated Minister of Communication and Information Technology Budi Arie Setiadi following the ransomware attack. There have been many demands for Minister of Communication and Information Technology to resign from his position. However, the Head of State has not spoken much about these demands. 'Everything has been evaluated,' said Jokowi."

Jokowi requested that the hacking incident not be repeated. The former Governor of DKI Jakarta emphasized that the government has conducted a comprehensive evaluation after the PDN hacking.

"The most important thing is to find solutions so that it does not happen again, back up all our national data. So that if there is an incident, we are not taken by surprise. This also happens in other countries, not only in Indonesia."

Firm Jokowi.
